Subject: [PATCH 4.14 109/195] NFS: Fix a race between mmap() and O_DIRECT

4.14-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Trond Myklebust <trond.myklebust@...marydata.com>

commit e231c6879cfd44e4fffd384bb6dd7d313249a523 upstream.

When locking the file in order to do O_DIRECT on it, we must unmap
any mmapped ranges on the pagecache so that we can flush out the
dirty data.

Fixes: a5864c999de67 ("NFS: Do not serialise O_DIRECT reads and writes")
