    [GFS2] Fail over to readpage for stuffed files · e1d5b18a
    Steven Whitehouse authored
    This is partially derrived from a patch written by Russell Cattelan.
    It fixes a bug where there is a race between readpages and truncate
    by ignoring readpages for stuffed files. This is ok because a stuffed
    file will never be more than one block (minus sizeof(struct gfs2_dinode))
    in size and block size is always less than page size, so we do not lose
    anything efficiency-wise by not doing readahead for stuffed files. They
    will have already been "read ahead" by the action of reading the inode
    in, in the first place.
    
    This is the remaining part of the fix for Red Hat bugzilla #218966
    which had not yet made it upstream.
