.SH "ARGUMENTS"

.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.PP
The address_space is to try to release any data against the page (presumably at page\->private)\&. If the release was successful, return `1\*(Aq\&. Otherwise return zero\&.
.PP
This may also be called if PG_fscache is set on a page, indicating that the page is known to the local caching routines\&.
.PP
The
\fIgfp_mask\fR
argument specifies whether I/O may be performed to release this page (__GFP_IO), and whether the call may block (__GFP_RECLAIM & __GFP_FS)\&.
