Hi, Are there any good documentation on the interaction of buffer cache and page cache. What I am particularly interested in is :
a) How the buffer_heads interact with page cache to submit read/write requests. b) How are they mapped in a page. Any/all of the other gory details. Any links/pointers will be useful. Even if someone can point me to the code piece from where I should start learning about this. Also I couldnt find the definitions of some commonly used functions/macros in the source like. test_set_buffer_req(bh) buffer_mapped(bh) buffer_locked(bh) buffer_ordered(bh) etc.... what am i missing ?? -- Thanks & Regards, ******************************************** Manish Katiyar ( http://mkatiyar.googlepages.com ) 3rd Floor, Fair Winds Block EGL Software Park Off Intermediate Ring Road Bangalore 560071, India *********************************************** -- To unsubscribe from this list: send an email with "unsubscribe kernelnewbies" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Please read the FAQ at http://kernelnewbies.org/FAQ
