Subject: page_launder() questions...
Date: 07 Jan 2001 21:41:14 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <87ofxj9jth.fsf@atlas.iskon.hr> (raw)
In page_launder():
/* First time through? Move it to the back of the list */
if (!launder_loop) {
list_del(page_lru);
list_add(page_lru, &inactive_dirty_list);
UnlockPage(page);
continue;
}
Well, it has just found a dirty page and instead of writing it out it
skips it and continues scanning. I don't get it!
Also, all comments speak about swap cache pages, but if I understand
correctly, now even "normal" page cache pages get the dirty bit when
dirtied, so they should also be written out in the page_launder()
function, right?
