This is the opposite case of kernel bugzilla 216301.
If we mmap a file using cache=none and then proceed to update the mmapped
area these updates are not reflected in a later pread() of that part of the
file.
To fix this we must first destage any dirty pages in the range before
we allow the pread() to proceed.

Are the possible return values from filemap_write_and_wait_range() also
valid for returning from __cifs_readv()? It seems a bit odd to return
write errors here.

If not, then perhaps a more generic failure rc would be safer/more POSIX
compliant?

Tom.

Good point. Since an error here means we have dirty pages and
destaging them failed I guess -EAGAIN
would be the best to return. We want/need userspace to retry this,
possibly forever, in that scenario.

Steve, can you change the patch to -EAGAIN or do you want me to re-send it?

could you resend - also add cc:stable if you think appropriate.
