BLOCK_INVALIDATEPAGE(9) | The Linux VFS | BLOCK_INVALIDATEPAGE(9) |
NAME¶
block_invalidatepage - invalidate part or all of a buffer-backed pageSYNOPSIS¶
void
block_invalidatepage(struct page * page,
unsigned int offset,
unsigned int length);
ARGUMENTS¶
pagethe page which is affected
offset
start of the range to invalidate
length
length of the range to invalidate
DESCRIPTION¶
block_invalidatepage is called when all or part of the page has become invalidated by a truncate operation. block_invalidatepage does not have to release all buffers, but it must ensure that no dirty buffer is left outside offset and that no I/O is underway against any of the blocks which are outside the truncation point. Because the caller is about to free (and possibly reuse) those blocks on-disk.COPYRIGHT¶
