Subject: [PATCH 0/3] [RFC] Fallocate Volatile Ranges v3

Just another quick iteration on the fallocate volatile ranges.

This version utilizes Dave Hansen's suggestion to use the
shmem_writepage code to trigger the volatile range purging.
This avoids using a shrinker as requested by KOSAKI Motohiro
and makes unnecessary some of the page counting logic.

Also caught an off by one bug in the page purging.

Let me know if you have any further feedback or thoughts!

thanks
-john
