If the page cache entry that was last read gets invalidated for some reason, then make sure we can re-create it on the next call to readdir. This, combined with the cache page validation, allows us to reuse the cached value of page-index on successive calls to nfs_readdir. Credit is due to Benjamin Coddington for showing that the concept works, and that it allows for improved cache sharing between processes even in the case where pages are lost due to LRU or active invalidation.

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.
