Hello, In the 2.4.18 kernel, is it possible for a page in the page/swap cache, to be written to disk, while there are still some references (except those of the page/swap cache and possibly the buffer cache) to that page. In other words, can a dirty page in the page/swap cache become clean, while it's reference count is >= 3 (or >= 2 and it's not in the buffer cache). If so, could you explain me the scenario in which this may occur? Thanks in advance for any help with best regards Martin Maletinsky P.S.
