Thanks Mina and James!



Technically, the issue was introduced by commit 846be08578ed. See the

'Note on Fixes tag' in c7b1850dfb41. It is true that commit c7b1850dfb41

should have taken the 'is_continue' case into account when deciding whether

or not to call restore_reserve_on_error. However, this issue first

showed up with 846be08578ed. But, this patch depends on c7b1850dfb41 so

I think c7b1850dfb41 it best for the Fixes tag.

We did not add the the page to the pagecache. Rather, this is the case

where the page already exists in the cache. Right?

How about changing the variable name new_pagecache_page to page_in_pagecache?

Then it makes sense both here and below when actually adding to the

cache. I think we could then drop the above comment.
