Pravin,
I think Pravin wants to know the Page Frame Number in memory management.(virtual<->physical conversion)
But the function drop_pagecache_sb seems to be about the disk cache(file magement or block layer).

See drop_pagecache_sb. What exactly you need??
I don't think you'll need to modify or access the memory defined by that page.
So i guess you could do a lockless version when you iterate over pages.
