I see several instances of code like below scattered throughout the kernel. This is a good example: page=read_cache_page(mapping,0,(filler_t *)mapping->a_ops->readpage,NULL); dentry_dst=(struct dentry *)page; if (IS_ERR(page)) goto out; wait_on_page_locked(page); if (!PageUptodate(page)) goto async_fail; // <<--- This I don't understand... What events can lead to read_cache_page returning !PageUptodate? My goal will be to try to exercise a similar handler to test some code. -- Darrin -- To unsubscribe from this list: send an email with "unsubscribe kernelnewbies" to ecartis@xxxxxxxxxxxx Please read the FAQ at http://kernelnewbies.org/FAQ
