[PATCH 17/37] CacheFiles: Add a hook to write a single page of data to an inode

David Howells
2008-02-08T17:02:34Z

Add an address space operation to write one single page of data to an inode at
a page-aligned location (thus permitting the implementation to be highly
optimised). The data source is a single page.

This is used by CacheFiles to store the contents of netfs pages into their
backing file pages.

Supply a generic implementation for this that uses the write_begin() and
write_end() address_space operations to bind a copy directly into the page
cache.

Hook the Ext2 and Ext3 operations to the generic implementation.
