Second concept is that this bd_inode is to create the object in the buffer cache to buffer the data for the physical device - this is where address space mapping comes in. To answer your question, so when the physical device is not connected, i think it is pointless to get the address space mapping. Am I correct?
When the the physical device is desconnected I think invalidate_bdev is called. I didn't see what that does however. May be it destroys all buffers and dirty cached pages. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send an email with "unsubscribe kernelnewbies" to ecartis@xxxxxxxxxxxx Please read the FAQ at http://kernelnewbies.org/FAQ
