Hi Kumar Amit,
 
These function are define in
 
 
http://lxr.linux.no/linux+v3.10/include/linux/buffer_head.h
 
 
The ## (double number sign) operator concatenates two tokens in a macro invocation (text and/or arguments) given in a macro definition
 
 
/*
 * Emit the buffer bitops functions.   Note that there are also functions
 * of the form "mark_buffer_foo()".  These are higher-level functions which
 * do something in addition to setting a b_state bit.

BUFFER_FNS(Lock, locked)
BUFFER_FNS(Req, req)

These function get expanded before we compile the kernel.

Subject: Where are these buffer_xxx macros/fucntion defined?

Hi,

I see that a lot of FS code is using buffer_invalidate(), buffer_req()
etc, but I could not find the definition of these anywhere in the tree.
What am i missing? For example, see ext3 code using buffer_invalidate()
here[1].

For building cscope and tags database, I invoke the following command
from the top of the tree:
$ make cscope tags

Thanks,
Amit
