From mboxrd@z Thu Jan 1 00:00:00 1970 Date: Thu, 13 Jul 2000 16:30:35 -0300 (BRST) From: Rik van Riel Subject: writeback list Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-linux-mm@kvack.org Return-Path: To: "Stephen C. Tweedie" Cc: linux-mm@kvack.org List-ID: Hi Stephen, we may have forgotten something in our new new vm design from last weekend. While we have the list head available to put pages in the writeback list, we don't have an entry in to put the timestamp of the write in struct_page... Maybe we want to have an active list after all and replace the buffer_head pointer with a pointer to another structure that tracks the writeback stuff that's now tracked by the buffer head? (things like: prev, next, write_time and a few other things) regards, Rik -- "What you're running that piece of shit Gnome?!?!" -- Miguel de Icaza, UKUUG 2000 http://www.conectiva.com/ http://www.surriel.com/ -- To unsubscribe, send a message with 'unsubscribe linux-mm' in the body to majordomo@kvack.org.
