When the fill_page_cache_func() function is invoked, it assumes that the cache of pages is completely empty. However, there can be some time between triggering execution of this function and its actual invocation. During this time, kfree_rcu_work() might run, and might fill in part or all of this cache of pages, thus invalidating the fill_page_cache_func() function's assumption. This will not overfill the cache because put_cached_bnode() will reject the extra page. However, it will result in a needless allocation and freeing of one extra page, which might not be helpful under lowish-memory conditions. This commit therefore causes the fill_page_cache_func() to explicitly account for pages that have been placed into the cache shortly before it starts running.

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.
