Wait...why does iter_get_bvecs_alloc populate the mapping? The iter in
this case is almost certainly an iov_iter from userland so none of this
should have anything to do with the pagecache.

I suspect the faulting in occurs via the mmap reader task, and that the
truncate_inode_pages_range calls just happen enough to invalidate it.

I think what we may want to do is consider adding these calls into
ceph_page_mkwrite:

        if (direct_lock)
                ceph_start_io_direct(inode);
        else
                ceph_start_io_write(inode);

...and similar ones (for read) in ceph_filemap_fault, along with "end"
calls to end the I/Os.

This is how we handle races between buffered read/write and direct I/O,
and I suspect the mmap codepaths may just need similar treatment.

Thoughts?
