Subject: [PATCH 3.10 082/129] GFS2: Fix incorrect invalidation for DIO/buffered I/O

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

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

From: Steven Whitehouse <swhiteho@...hat.com>

commit dfd11184d894cd0a92397b25cac18831a1a6a5bc upstream.

In patch 209806aba9d540dde3db0a5ce72307f85f33468f we allowed
local deferred locks to be granted against a cached exclusive
lock. That opened up a corner case which this patch now
fixes.

The solution to the problem is to check whether we have cached
pages each time we do direct I/O and if so to unmap, flush
and invalidate those pages. Since the glock state machine
normally does that for us, mostly the code will be a no-op.
