Subject: NFS implementation redundancy
Date: Tue, 30 May 2006 18:27:48 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <4ae3c140605301527r59e91f9ah20dde8a4ae812d0e@mail.gmail.com> (raw)
Hi,
I am looking at NFS implementation included in kernel 2.6.16. In
nfs/inode.c, function nfs_delete_inode() called nfs_wb_all() after
truncate_inode_pages(). However, truncate_inode_pages is supposed to
flush out pages, why do we still need nfs_wb_all()? Moreover, after
this nfs_wb_all, function nfs_delete_inode() immediately calls
clear_inode(), which will call nfs_wb_all() again.
This looks redundant to me. Any explaination on this?
Thanks,
Xin
