NFS: Avoid races between writebacks and truncation
Currently, there is no serialisation between NFS asynchronous writebacks and truncation at the page level due to the fact that nfs_sync_inode() cannot lock the pages that it is about to write out. This means that it is possible to be flushing out data (and calling something like set_page_writeback()) while the page cache is busy evicting the page. Oops... Use the hooks provided in try_to_release_page() to ensure that dirty pages are always written back to storage before we evict them. Signed-off-by: Trond Myklebust <Trond.Myklebust@netapp.com>
