      nfs: optimise readdir cache page invalidation · 227823d2
      Dai Ngo authored
      When the directory is large and it's being modified by one client
      while another client is doing the 'ls -l' on the same directory then
      the cache page invalidation from nfs_force_use_readdirplus causes
      the reading client to keep restarting READDIRPLUS from cookie 0
      which causes the 'ls -l' to take a very long time to complete,
      possibly never completing.
      
      Currently when nfs_force_use_readdirplus is called to switch from
      READDIR to READDIRPLUS, it invalidates all the cached pages of the
      directory. This cache page invalidation causes the next nfs_readdir
      to re-read the directory content from cookie 0.
      
      This patch is to optimise the cache invalidation in
      nfs_force_use_readdirplus by only truncating the cached pages from
      last page index accessed to the end the file. It also marks the
      inode to delay invalidating all the cached page of the directory
      until the next initial nfs_readdir of the next 'ls' instance.
