I think there's a (preexisting) problem here. When one thread is executing
ufs_get_locked_page() while a second thread is running truncate().
If truncate got to the page first, truncate_complete_page() will mark the
page !uptodate and will later unlock it. Now this function gets the page
lock and emits a printk (bad) and assumes -EIO (worse).
That scenario might not be possible because of i_mutex coverage, dunno.
But if it _is_ possible, it can be simply fixed by doing
lock_page(page);
+ if (page->mapping == NULL) {
+ /* truncate() got there first */
+ page_cache_release(page);
+ goto try_again;
+ }
That's if it is appropriate to re-instantiate the page at a place which is
now outside i_size...
