[PATCH 3/7] mm: Provide stub page_mkwrite functionality to stabilize pages during writes

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



For filesystems that do not provide any page_mkwrite handler, provide a stub
page_mkwrite function that locks the page and waits for pending writeback to
complete.  This is needed to stabilize pages during writes for a large variety
of filesystem drivers (ext2, ext3, vfat, hfs...).
