Name

block_invalidatepage — invalidate part of all of a buffer-backed page

Synopsis

void block_invalidatepage (struct page *  page,
 unsigned long  offset);

Arguments

page

the page which is affected

offset

the index of the truncation point

Description

block_invalidatepage is called when all or part of the page has become invalidatedby a truncate operation.

block_invalidatepage does not have to release all buffers, but it must ensure that no dirty buffer is left outside offset and that no I/O is underway against any of the blocks which are outside the truncation point. Because the caller is about to free (and possibly reuse) those blocks on-disk.
