Hi Adheer happy new year basically, "buffer" holds the metadata parts, that is superblock, directory and inodes and other kinds of metadata (journal maybe?) On the other hand, "page cache" hold the content...that is the data inside the file. For the operation, AFAIK doing read() make the contents goes to page cache, while functions like bread() make the data goes to buffer.
