[PATCH v2 0/3] Fix more NFS readdir regressions

v2 fixes the following issues:
 - Fix up the cookie usage in uncached_readdir()
 - Changelog fixups for the second patch
 - .releasepage should use kmap_atomic() so that it can be called
   from all direct reclaim contexts.
 - Ensure that .releasepage also clears Pg_uptodate
 - Set/clear the Pg_private flag to ensure .releasepage gets called when
   appropriate.
 - Add a .invalidatepage to ensure truncate_inode_pages() works correctly
 - Ensure that the anonymous page that is generated by uncached_readdir()
   doesn't leak memory.

Trond Myklebust (3):
  NFS: Ensure we use the correct cookie in nfs_readdir_xdr_filler
  NFS: lock the readdir page while it is in use
  NFS: Fix a memory leak in nfs_readdir
