Hi Matthew,

I am seeing a problem in this code path, where it deletes a page cache
page mapped to a hole. Sometimes, page->_mapcount is 0, not -1, which
leads __delete_from_page_cache(), called from delete_from_page_cache(),
to hit the following BUG_ON.

  BUG_ON(page_mapped(page))

I suppose such page has a shared mapping. Does this code need to take
care of replacing shared mappings in such case?
Hi Matthew,

The following change works in my environment.  What do you think? 

Thanks,
-Toshi
