NeilBrown e0f23603fb [PATCH] Remove semi-softlockup from invalidate_mapping_pages 
If invalidate_mapping_pages is called to invalidate a very large mapping
(e.g.  a very large block device) and if the only active page in that
device is near the end (or at least, at a very large index), such as, say,
the superblock of an md array, and if that page happens to be locked when
invalidate_mapping_pages is called, then

  pagevec_lookup will return this page and
  as it is locked, 'next' will be incremented and pagevec_lookup
  will be called again. and again. and again.
  while we count from 0 upto a very large number.

We should really always set 'next' to 'page->index+1' before going around
the loop again, not just if the page isn't locked.
