Subject: [RESEND][PATCH 2/3 BUG,RFC] ext3: release block-device-mapping
buffer_heads which have the filesystem private data for avoiding oom-killer
From: Toshiyuki Okajima <toshi.okajima@...fujitsu.com>
Implement releasepage() of a client of a block device to release its private
data (journal_heads) and the page. The client is an ext3 filesystem.
This function is called from releasepage() of the block-device mapping,
blkdev_releasepage().
