From mboxrd@z Thu Jan 1 00:00:00 1970 From: David Howells Subject: [PATCH 13/14] FS-Cache: Release page->private in failed readahead [try #9] Date: Fri, 12 May 2006 13:49:30 +0100 Message-ID: <13241.1147438170@warthog.cambridge.redhat.com> References: <20060510160148.9058.81776.stgit@warthog.cambridge.redhat.com> <20060510160111.9058.55026.stgit@warthog.cambridge.redhat.com> Reply-To: Linux filesystem caching discussion list Cc: linux-fsdevel@vger.kernel.org, linux-cachefs@redhat.com, nfsv4@linux-nfs.org, linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org Return-path: In-Reply-To: <20060510160148.9058.81776.stgit@warthog.cambridge.redhat.com> To: torvalds@osdl.org, akpm@osdl.org, steved@redhat.com, trond.myklebust@fys.uio.no, aviro@redhat.com List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , Sender: linux-cachefs-bounces@redhat.com Errors-To: linux-cachefs-bounces@redhat.com List-Id: linux-fsdevel.vger.kernel.org The attached patch causes read_cache_pages() to release page-private data on a page for which add_to_page_cache() fails or the filler function fails. This permits pages with caching references associated with them to be cleaned up. Further changes [try #9] that have been made: (*) The try_to_release_page() is called instead of calling the releasepage() op directly. (*) The page is locked before try_to_release_page() is called. (*) The call to try_to_release_page() and page_cache_release() have been abstracted out into a helper function as this bit of code occurs twice..
