[PATCH] add AOP_TRUNCATED_PAGE, prepend AOP_ to WRITEPAGE_ACTIVATE
readpage(), prepare_write(), and commit_write() callers are updated to understand the special return code AOP_TRUNCATED_PAGE in the style of writepage() and WRITEPAGE_ACTIVATE. AOP_TRUNCATED_PAGE tells the caller that the callee has unlocked the page and that the operation should be tried again with a new page. OCFS2 uses this to detect and work around a lock inversion in its aop methods. There should be no change in behaviour for methods that don't return AOP_TRUNCATED_PAGE. WRITEPAGE_ACTIVATE is also prepended with AOP_ for consistency and they are made enums so that kerneldoc can be used to document their semantics. Signed-off-by: Zach Brown <zach.brown@oracle.com>
