Subject: filemap_fdatawait() wait_on_page_writeback_range(mapping, 0, -1)?
Date: Thu, 19 Aug 2004 17:17:29 -0300	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20040819201729.GC5278@logos.cnet> (raw)

Hi Andrew,

I dont understand why we do call wait_on_page_writeback_range() with -1 
as the "end" argument.

Is there a good reason for that? I bet so...

-1 sounds pretty stupid at first, it does unnecessary calls to 
the radix lookup code.
