Yes, but the folio should still be an 8K folio, and it is:

>   pankaj-5833: netfs_folio: pfn=116fec i=0009e ix=00000-00001 inval-part

as indicated by the inclusive folio index range ix=00000-00001.

The problem is that the bottom four bytes of the file are getting cleared
somewhere.  They *should* be "XXXX", but they're all zeros.
