Subject: swapin readahead and locking
Date: Tue, 1 Dec 1998 17:12:45 +0100 (CET) [thread overview]
Message-ID: <Pine.LNX.3.96.981201170845.437E-100000@mirkwood.dummy.home> (raw)
Hi Stephen,
I am now using the following construction (well, since
09:15 this morning):
struct page *page_map = lookup_swap_cache(entry);
if (!page_map) {
page_map = read_swap_cache(entry);
... do readahead stuff
}
I have a funny feeling I missed a wait_on_page() this way,
but things are runnig happily right now. If I missed a big
thing like this, please let me know -- I'd hate it to have
people test the patch (it is up for grabs) and end up with
a corrupted system...
thanks,
Rik -- now completely used to dvorak kbd layout...
