flushing out a page

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

 



 Hi,

   In try_to_swap_out() (2.4.19), if the page that is getting swapped out
is dirty, we add the page to the dirty_pages list. And I suppose that this
page gets flushed out into the disk thru bdflush(). Is there a way that
I can write the page into the disk instead of relying on bdflush. should i
use the write_page() function of the mapping??

 thanks,
Raghu
