Are we going to leave the terminology here as is? That is a great question. If the page cache wants to call its value entries exceptional entries, it can continue to do that. I think there's a better name for them, but I'm not sure what it is. Right now, the page cache uses value entries to store: 1. Shadow entries (for workingset) 2. Swap entries (for shmem) 3. DAX entries I can't come up with a good name for these three things. 'nonpage' is the only thing which hasn't immediately fallen off my ideas list. But I think renaming exceptional entries in the page cache is a great idea, and I don't want to do it as part of this patch set ;-) -- To unsubscribe, send a message with 'unsubscribe linux-mm' in the body to majordomo@kvack.org.
