Hi, when I was reading linux MM, I noticed the concept of page cache, buffer cache, and swap cache. I am confused about the followings: page->mapping points to the inode's address space(i_mapping), or NULL if it is anonymous page. so is this the concept of page cache? No global page cache but each inode has a page cache? what is the meaning of page->buffers? In page_launder() it was checked to under different context for different purpose, can someone kindly points how many cases are there and what they stand for? In linux 2.4, document said buffer cache and page cache are unified, where can I find evident in src code? Thanks, -- Kernelnewbies: Help each other learn about the Linux kernel.
