Subject: [patch 10/27] shmem fixes
Date: Thu, 04 Jul 2002 16:54:19 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <3D24E02B.A3AD8C95@zip.com.au> (raw)
A shmem cleanup/bugfix patch from Hugh Dickins.
- Minor: in try_to_unuse(), only wait on writeout if we actually
started new writeout. Otherwise, there is no need because a
wait_on_page_writeback() has already been executed against this page.
And it's locked, so no new writeback can start.
- Minor: in shmem_unuse_inode(): remove all the
wait_on_page_writeback() logic. We already did that in
try_to_unuse(), adn the page is locked so no new writeback can start.
- Less minor: add a missing a page_cache_release() to
shmem_get_page_locked() in the uncommon case where the page was found
to be under writeout.
