address_space: Theory of operation?

address_space: Theory of operation?

[Ingo Oeser]

Hi there,

is there any description of what address_space is supposed to to?

What are the address_space_operations expected to handle?

Sure, I could look into the sources to find out (and I did
already), but how could I distinguish between a proper
implementation and a BUG?

I searched the archives already (but using address_space as
primary keyword, so I wouldn't get renames) without any luck.

So could somebody please point me to some documentation about it
or comment it, if there is none?

Many thanks!

Regards

Ingo Oeser

My pagecache chapter in Tigran's lki explains a little about
address_spaces.  It's not yet updated to 2.4.{0,1} (though I have
the update ready, thanks for the reminder :)).

Look at: http://www.moses.uklinux.net/lki-4.html

Also, more widely, any of the new op fields the blk ops, the new inode
fields,
getattr/setattr, etc...descriptions would be "real keen"....:-)
