Subject: [RFC][PATCH] page->mapping clarification [1/3] base functions
Rebased to 2.6.23-rc6-mm1 and reflected comments.
Not so aggresive as previous version.
(I'm not in a hurry if -mm is busy.)
Any comments are welcome.
Thanks,
-Kame
==
A clarification of page <-> fs interface (page cache).
At first, each FS has to access to struct page->mapping directly.
But it's not just pointer. (we use special 1bit enconding for anon.)
Although there is historical consensus that page->mapping points to its inode's
address space, I think adding some neat helper functon is not bad.
This patch adds page-cache.h which containes page<->address_space<->inode
function which is required (used) by subsystems.
Following functions are added
* page_mapping_cache() ... returns address space if a page is page cache
* page_mapping_anon() ... returns anon_vma if a page is anonymous page.
* page_is_pagecache() ... returns true if a page is page-cache.
* page_inode() ... returns inode which a page-cache belongs to.
* is_page_consistent() ... returns true if a page is still valid page cache
Followings are moved
* page_mapping() ... returns swapper_space or address_space a page is on.
(from mm.h)
* page_index() ... returns position of a page in its inode
(from mm.h)
* remove_mapping() ... a safe routine to remove page->mapping from page.
(from swap.h)
Changelog V1 -> V2:
- for 2.6.23-rc6-mm1.
- use bool type.
- moved related functions to page-cache.h
- renamed some functions.
