When running ->fallocate(), blkdev_fallocate() should hold mapping->invalidate_lock to prevent page cache from being accessed, otherwise stale data may be read in page cache. Without this patch, blktests block/009 fails sometimes. With this patch, block/009 can pass always. Also as Jan pointed out, no pages can be created in the discarded area while you are holding the invalidate_lock, so remove the 2nd truncate_bdev_range().

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.
