Subject: page cache and buffer cache in 2.4.18 and up
Date: Thu, 11 Sep 2003 17:30:05 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <003301c37879$938fda00$0601a8c0@CARTMAN> (raw)

Hi,
Since the change in kernel 2.4, read and writes go both through the page and
buffer cache. Is the cached data held twice (i.e. uses twice the memory)? I
noticed that the struct page holds a pointer to a buffer-head list; does
that list contain actual data, or just pointers into the cached page data?

Thanks,
Amir.
