hi all, let's assume two processes are trying to read and write to same page. (e.g. two closer areas in an open file. first process has opened it read/write mode and second process has opened it in read only mode). is there any locking mechanism available to avoid data corruption ? is it provided through file system driver or page cache code ? cheers __ tharindu -- To unsubscribe from this list: send an email with "unsubscribe kernelnewbies" to ecartis@xxxxxxxxxxxx Please read the FAQ at http://kernelnewbies.org/FAQ
