Re: [PATCH] FS-Cache: Fix handling of an attempt to store a page thatis now beyond EOF

[Milosz Tanski]

Hey guys it looks like this patch got lost in the shuffle. I checked
out a recent kernel and learned this wasn't applied the hard way (by
running into it).

Can this please get applied to master as it fixes a real issue?

Thanks,
