Address space operations questions

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

 



Hi,

I have problems understanding the purpose of different entries of
struc address_space_operations:

1. What is bmap for and what is it supposed to do?

2. What is the difference between sync_page and write_page?

3. What exactly (fs independent) is the relation in between
write_page, prepare_write and commit_write?

4. What is direct_IO for?

Thak you very much for any insight,

Martin
