Can, You might want to read thro fsync_buffers_list() in buffers.c This has the logic for flushing dirty bufs and would give you a clue on traversing dirty buffers in buf-cache for 2.6 Thanks, Vinod On Tue, 12 Oct 2004 Can Sar wrote : >Hi, > >I have read the source and searched the web and LKML archives for 2 days without being able to find much on this topic, so I hope someone can help me here. >I am writing a driver for a research project, and need to be able to traverse all dirty buffers in the buffer cache, for this device. I have read through buffer.c and several other files a dozen times, but have not been able to pin down exactly how to get access to the buffer cache. If someone could point any files that I should look at, to get a pointer to all the dirty buffers associated with a device, I would be very happy.
