[PATCH 05/42] ext4: invalidate pages if delalloc block allocation fails.

From: Theodore Ts'o
Date: Thu Oct 09 2008 - 00:08:43 EST


From: Aneesh Kumar K.V <aneesh.kumar@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

We are a bit agressive in invalidating all the pages. But
it is ok because we really don't know why the block allocation
failed and it is better to come of the writeback path
so that user can look for more info.
