From mboxrd@z Thu Jan 1 00:00:00 1970 Subject: [PATCH 2/2] mm: optimize kill_bdev() From: Peter Zijlstra Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf-8 Date: Thu, 12 Apr 2007 17:21:22 +0200 Message-Id: <1176391282.4114.10.camel@taijtu> Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-linux-mm@kvack.org Return-Path: To: Andrew Morton , Zhao Forrest Cc: linux-mm@kvack.org, linux-kernel List-ID: Remove duplicate work in kill_bdev(). It currently invalidates and then truncates the bdev's mapping. invalidate_mapping_pages() will opportunistically remove pages from the mapping. And truncate_inode_pages() will forcefully remove all pages. The only thing truncate doesn't do is flush the bh lrus. So do that explicitly. This avoids (very unlikely) but possible invalid lookup results if the same bdev is quickyl re-issued.
