Hi,
I've been reading through a lot of the buffer cache code and there are some references to a few functions (macros?) like: set_buffer_dirty test_set_buffer_dirty clear_buffer_dirty etc.
I've been trying to find where these are declared and have had no success whatsoever. I've grepped recursively through all of /usr/src/linux but have only found places where they were used, but never declared. Can anyone give me any hints to how this is possible and where or what these are?
Thanks for your help, Can Sar
That's odd. According to http://lxr.linux.no/ident?i=set_buffer_dirty, this identifier is not even used. What kernel version are you looking at?
I'm using version 2.6.8.1 but that code has not changed in 2.6.10. For instance look on line 854 of fs/buffer.c, it's right there. I have no idea why the cross reference can't find it. I find this to be really strange.
