Subject: [PATCH 3.5 66/96] ceph: Avoid data inconsistency due to d-cache aliasing in readpage()

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

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

From: Li Wang <liwang@...ntukylin.com>

commit 56f91aad69444d650237295f68c195b74d888d95 upstream.

If the length of data to be read in readpage() is exactly
PAGE_CACHE_SIZE, the original code does not flush d-cache
for data consistency after finishing reading. This patches fixes
this.
