[PATCH 1/2] mm: Wait for writeback when grabbing pages to begin a write

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

 



When grabbing a page for a buffered IO write, the mm should wait for writeback
on the page to complete so that the page does not become writable during the IO
operation.  This change is needed to provide page stability during writes for
all filesystems.
