[PATCH] Ceph: Avoid data inconsistency due to d-cache aliasing in readpage()

From: Li Wang
Date: Wed Nov 13 2013 - 02:33:20 EST


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.
