commit 3f015d89a47cd8855cd92f71fff770095bd885a1 upstream.
The mechanism in use to allow the client to see the results of COPY/CLONE
is to drop those pages from the pagecache. This forces the client to read
those pages once more from the server. However, truncate_pagecache_range()
zeros out partial pages instead of dropping them. Let us instead use
invalidate_inode_pages2_range() with full-page offsets to ensure the client
properly sees the results of COPY/CLONE operations.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
