NAME

6       try_to_release_page - release old fs-specific metadata on a page
7

SYNOPSIS

9       int try_to_release_page(struct page * page, gfp_t gfp_mask);
10

ARGUMENTS

12       page
13           the page which the kernel is trying to free
14
15       gfp_mask
16           memory allocation flags (and I/O mode)
17

DESCRIPTION

19       The address_space is to try to release any data against the page
20       (presumably at page->private). If the release was successful, return
21       `1'. Otherwise return zero.
22
23       This may also be called if PG_fscache is set on a page, indicating that
24       the page is known to the local caching routines.
25
26       The gfp_mask argument specifies whether I/O may be performed to release
27       this page (__GFP_IO), and whether the call may block (__GFP_WAIT &
28       __GFP_FS).
