From 6b082b531228c43d454c082fc0f969da1695b060 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Toshiyuki Okajima Date: Mon, 5 Jan 2009 22:38:14 -0500 Subject: [PATCH] ext3: provide function to release metadata pages under memory pressure Pages in the page cache belonging to ext3 data files are released via the ext3_releasepage() function specified in the ext3 inode's address_space_ops. However, metadata blocks (such as indirect blocks, directory blocks, etc) are managed via the block device address_space_ops, and they can not be released by try_to_free_buffers() if they have a journal head attached to them. To address this, we supply a try_to_free_pages() function which calls journal_try_to_free_buffers() function to free the metadata, and which is called by the block device's blkdev_releasepage() function.
