Hello,
Kernel core code is usually great and well designed IMHO.
But here I find the page cache KPI really incosistent in its routine
names. For example, here are different helpers I could find:
page_cache_get()
page_cache_release()
page_cache_alloc()
find_get_page()
find_lock_page()
grab_cache_page()
grab_cache_page_nowait()
read_cache_page_async()
read_cache_page()
add_to_page_cache()
remove_from_page_cache()
lock_page()
wait_on_page_writeback()
...
Do these inconsistencies exist for historical reasons or am I missing
something ?
If I am right, wouldn't it better for them to start with page_cache_
or something
similar.
Thanks
