invalidate_inode_page() can invalidate the pages in the swap cache because
the check of page->mapping != mapping is removed via Matthew's patch titled
"mm/truncate: Inline invalidate_complete_page() into its one caller". But
invalidate_inode_page() is not expected to deal with the pages in the swap
cache. Also non-lru movable page can reach here too. They're not page cache
pages. Skip these pages by checking PageSwapCache and PageLRU to fix this
unexpected issue.

I disagree with this changelog.

invalidate_inode_page() should not be called for pages which are not
in the page cache.

And then the patch shouldn't test PageLRU (which is actually wrong) or
PageSwapCache().  It should simply be:

+	if (!PageHuge(page) && !PageAnon(page))

If we reach here, the page can be one of the PageHuge, __PageMovable and PageLRU.
If above code is used, __PageMovable can pass the check and enter the invalidate_inode_page
unexpectedly. So I think PageLRU check is necessary here. But it seems PageSwapCache
is only reliable when PageAnon, so might we should do:

+	if (!PageHuge(page) && PageLRU(page) && !PageAnon(page))

Am I miss something? Many thanks for comment.
