16       buf

DESCRIPTION

20       This function attempts to steal the struct page attached to buf. If
21       successful, this function returns 0 and returns with the page locked.
22       The caller may then reuse the page for whatever he wishes; the typical
23       use is insertion into a different file page cache.
