2.6.27-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let us know. ------------------ From: Aneesh Kumar K.V (cherry picked from commit ed9b3e3379731e9f9d2f73f3d7fd9e7d2ce3df4a) We need to make sure we mark the buffer_heads as dirty and uptodate so that block_write_full_page write them correctly. This fixes mmap corruptions that can occur in low memory situations.
