From: Linus Torvalds Date: Wed, 1 Dec 2010 18:35:19 +0000 (-0500) Subject: Call the filesystem back whenever a page is removed from the page cache X-Git-Url: http://git.lede-project.org./?a=commitdiff_plain;h=6072d13c429373c5d63b69dadbbef40a9b035552;p=openwrt%2Fstaging%2Fblogic.git Call the filesystem back whenever a page is removed from the page cache NFS needs to be able to release objects that are stored in the page cache once the page itself is no longer visible from the page cache. This patch adds a callback to the address space operations that allows filesystems to perform page cleanups once the page has been removed from the page cache.
