This commit is in the mmotm but not in mainline yet:

commit 042c4f32323beb28146c658202d3e69899e4f245

    mm/truncate: Inline invalidate_complete_page() into its one caller

    invalidate_inode_page() is the only caller of invalidate_complete_page()
    and inlining it reveals that the first check is unnecessary (because we
    hold the page locked, and we just retrieved the mapping from the page).
    Actually, it does make a difference, in that tail pages no longer fail
    at this check, so it's now possible to remove a tail page from a mapping.

Am I "not" supposed to use this commit id as it's not "stable" now?

Will update this part in next version. Many thanks.
