mm/filemap.c: warn if stale pagecache is left after direct write
generic_file_direct_write() tries to invalidate pagecache after O_DIRECT write. Unlike to similar code in dio_complete() this silently ignores error returned from invalidate_inode_pages2_range(). According to comment this code here because not all filesystems call dio_complete() to do proper invalidation after O_DIRECT write. Noticeable example is a blkdev_direct_IO(). This patch calls dio_warn_stale_pagecache() if invalidation fails.
