Hi,
I wanted to know whether all writepage functions of the address space
are blocking? I need to use it in a non-blocking context. When I followed
the code path of shmem_writepage, it was non-blocking, but ext2_writepage
I found to be blocking. Am I correct over here. Is there any other way of
writing a dirty page to the backing store without using writepage
function, I mean can I use set_dirty_page() which inserts into the
dirty_list and gets written later ??
Thanks a lot,
Raghu
