Convert ext4 to use mapping->invalidate_lock instead of its private EXT4_I(inode)->i_mmap_sem. This is mostly search-and-replace. By this conversion we fix a long standing race between hole punching and read(2) / readahead(2) paths that can lead to stale page cache contents.

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.
