Subject[patch 13/31] nfs: nfs_getattr() cant call nfs_sync_mapping_range() for non-regular files
-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let us know.

------------------


From: Trond Myklebust <trond.myklebust@fys.uio.no>

Looks like we need a check in nfs_getattr() for a regular file. It makes
no sense to call nfs_sync_mapping_range() on anything else. I think that
should fix your problem: it will stop the NFS client from interfering
with dirty pages on that inode's mapping.
