significance of BUF_CLEAN list

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Guys,

   In function __refile_buffer() (linux 2.4.21-50), what is the significance of moving a buffer to BUF_CLEAN list.

I don't see traversing BUF_CLEAN list anywhere in the code. So, why do we need to move the buffer to clean list. In case if dispose == BUF_CLEAN, just removing the buffer from dirty/locked list should be sufficient.

What do you think? 

thanks,
rahul
