commit68f6bd128eupstream. When reading a compressed file, we may read several pages in addition to the one requested. The current code will overwrite pages in the page cache with the data from disc which can definitely result in changes that have been made being lost. For example if we have four consecutie pages ABCD in the file compressed into a single extent, on first access, we'll bring in ABCD. Then we write to page B. Memory pressure results in the eviction of ACD. When we attempt to write to page C, we will overwrite the data in page B with the data currently on disk. I haven't investigated the decompression code to check whether it's OK to overwrite a clean page or whether it might be possible to see corrupt data. Out of an abundance of caution, decline to overwrite uptodate pages, not just dirty pages.
