I would have to agree with this... in debugging this I
changed the invalidate_inode_pages2 in nfs_revalidate_mapping
to truncate_inode_pages() for non-file inode which also seem
to work... So it does beg the question as to why aren't we
waiting for page to be invalidated? Is there some type of
VM deadlock we are trying to avoid?
