No. Invalidatepage does precisely the wrong thing: it invalidates dirty
data instead of committing it to disk. If you need to have the data
invalidated, then you should call truncate_inode_pages().
Just curious... would it make sense to call truncate_inode_pages()
to purge the the readdir cache? Meaning, in nfs_revalidate_mapping()
truncate_inode_pages() would be called for S_ISDIR inodes?

It seems to me that it would be more of a decisive why to ensure
the readdir cache is purged...
