NAME
       truncate_pagecache_range - unmap and remove pagecache that is
       hole-punched

SYNOPSIS
       void truncate_pagecache_range(struct inode * inode, loff_t lstart,
				     loff_t lend);

ARGUMENTS
       inode
	   inode

       lstart
	   offset of beginning of hole

       lend
	   offset of last byte of hole

DESCRIPTION
       This function should typically be called before the filesystem releases
       resources associated with the freed range (eg. deallocates blocks).
       This way, pagecache will always stay logically coherent with on-disk
       format, and the filesystem would not have to deal with situations such
       as writepage being called for a page that has already had its
       underlying blocks deallocated.
