commit 1f28fcd925b2b3157411bbd08f0024b55b70d8dd upstream. This will fix file system corruption which infrequently happens after mount. The problem was reported from users with the title "[NILFS users] Fail to mount NILFS." (Message-ID: <200908211918.34720.yuri@itinteg.net>), and so forth. I've also experienced the corruption multiple times on kernel 2.6.30 and 2.6.31. The problem turned out to be caused due to discordance between mapping->nrpages of a btree node cache and the actual number of pages hung on the cache; if the mapping->nrpages becomes zero even as it has pages, truncate_inode_pages() returns without doing anything. Usually this is harmless except it may cause page leak, but garbage collection fairly infrequently sees a stale page remained in the btree node cache of DAT (i.e. disk address translation file of nilfs), and induces the corruption. I identified a missing initialization in btree node caches was the root cause. This corrects the bug. I've tested this for kernel 2.6.30 and 2.6.31.
