But trying to understand it better. int pagecache_write_begin() { if (aops->write_begin) { return aops->write_begin(file, mapping, pos, len, flags, pagep, fsdata); } else { ..... ret = aops->readpage(file, page); page_cache_release(page); if (ret) { if (ret == AOP_TRUNCATED_PAGE) goto again; return ret; } goto again; .... } } filesystems (ocfs2, gfs2) which can return AOP_TRUNCATED_PAGE for prepare_write or readpage would never come to this case. They have write_begin() method set. Isn't it ? Why this check ?
