SubjectRe: [PATCH 1/8] buffer: make invalidate_bdev() drain all percpu LRU add caches
From
From: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org>

> invalidate_bdev() should release all page cache pages which are clean
> and not being used; however, if some pages are still in the percpu LRU
> add caches on other cpus, those pages are considered in used and don't
> get released. Fix it by calling lru_add_drain_all() before trying to
> invalidate pages.

> This problem was discovered while testing block automatic native
> capacity unlocking. Null pages which were read before automatic
> unlocking didn't get released by invalidate_bdev() and ended up
> interfering with partition scan after unlocking.
