When the directory is large and it's being modified by one client while another client is doing the 'ls -l' on the same directory then the cache page invalidation from nfs_force_use_readdirplus causes the reading client to keep restarting READDIRPLUS from cookie 0 which causes the 'ls -l' to take a very long time to complete, possibly never completing. Currently when nfs_force_use_readdirplus is called to switch from READDIR to READDIRPLUS, it invalidates all the cached pages of the directory. This cache page invalidation causes the next nfs_readdir to re-read the directory content from cookie 0. This patch is to optimise the cache invalidation in nfs_force_use_readdirplus by only truncating the cached pages from last page index accessed to the end the file. It also marks the inode to delay invalidating all the cached page of the directory until the next initial nfs_readdir of the next 'ls' instance.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
