    NFS: Use FS-Cache invalidation · de242c0b
    David Howells authored
    Use the new FS-Cache invalidation facility from NFS to deal with foreign
    changes being detected on the server rather than attempting to retire the old
    cookie and get a new one.
    
    The problem with the old method was that NFS did not wait for all outstanding
    storage and retrieval ops on the cache to complete.  There was no automatic
    wait between the calls to ->readpages() and calls to invalidate_inode_pages2()
    as the latter can only wait on locked pages that have been added to the
    pagecache (which they haven't yet on entry to ->readpages()).
    
    This was leading to oopses like the one below when an outstanding read got cut
    off from its cookie by a premature release.
