Hallo group members. I have a question related to old (but still good:) kernel 2.2. I wonder what is the use of invoking bdflush in getblk function when there are no free buffers on free_list (list on free buffers) and we could not allocate new page to refill that list. As I understand the code, the only goal of bdflush is to flush some part of direty buffers to disk and optionally move buffers to clean buffers list (but NOT to free_list). I cannot find the place in code, where bdflush refills the list of free buffers. Do I miss something?
