    mm: optimize kill_bdev() · f9a14399

    Remove duplicate work in kill_bdev().
    
    It currently invalidates and then truncates the bdev's mapping.
    invalidate_mapping_pages() will opportunistically remove pages from the
    mapping.  And truncate_inode_pages() will forcefully remove all pages.
    
    The only thing truncate doesn't do is flush the bh lrus.  So do that
    explicitly.  This avoids (very unlikely) but possible invalid lookup
    results if the same bdev is quickly re-issued.
    
    It also will prevent extreme kernel latencies which are observed when
    blockdevs which have a large amount of pagecache are unmounted, by avoiding
    invalidate_mapping_pages() on that path.  invalidate_mapping_pages() has no
    cond_resched (it can be called under spinlock), whereas truncate_inode_pages()
    has one.
