You could use the new __radix_tree_replace() here and save a second
tree lookup.
Hum, I'd need to return 'node' from get_unlocked_mapping_entry(). So
probably I'll do it in a patch separate from this fix. But thanks for
suggestion.

Ditto for __radix_tree_replace().
Yes, here I can do it easily rightaway.

The way these functions are split out looks fine to me.

Now that clear_exceptional_entry() doesn't handle shmem and DAX
anymore, only shadows, could you rename it to clear_shadow_entry()?
Sure. Done.
The naming situation with truncate, invalidate, invalidate2 worries me
a bit. They aren't great names to begin with, but now DAX uses yet
another terminology for what state prevents a page from being dropped.
Can we switch to truncate, invalidate, and invalidate_sync throughout
truncate.c and then have DAX follow that naming too? Or maybe you can
think of better names. But neither invalidate2 and invalidate_clean
don't seem to capture it quite right ;)
Yeah, the naming is confusing. I like the invalidate_sync proposal however
renaming invalidate_inode_pages2() to invalidate_inode_pages_sync() is a
larger undertaking - grep shows 51 places need to be changed. So I don't
want to do it in this patch set. I can call the function
dax_invalidate_mapping_entry_sync() if it makes you happier and do the rest
later... OK?
