Hi Linus,
this did not fix problem with my testcase -
mmap(shared),fork,dirty_it,ftruncate,finish - does NOT go through
this code (invalidate_inode_pages) at all (should it?).
I instrumented both swapout in page_io, and __remove_inode_page,
and pages are going through __remove_inode_page with strange use
count. I do not know whether it is good or no... During normal life
of system, pages with count==2 && index==0 are passed to __remove_inode_page.
As soon as I start my test, non-zero index pages with count > 2 are
passed here. Later this pages appear in filemap_sync...
Thanks,
Petr Vandrovec
