Just incase you have not noticed. In 2.4 kernel ... buffer.c has got something called show_buffers() ... this actually prints ( printk ) all the statistics including dirty buffers, locked buffers, used, etc ...

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. I am working with kernel 2.6.
