Name

unmap_mapping_range — unmap the portion of all mmaps in the specified address_space corresponding to the specified page range in the underlying file.

Synopsis

void unmap_mapping_range (struct address_space * mapping,
 loff_t const holebegin,
 loff_t const holelen,
 int even_cows);
 

Arguments

struct address_space * mapping

the address space containing mmaps to be unmapped.

loff_t const holebegin

byte in first page to unmap, relative to the start of the underlying file. This will be rounded down to a PAGE_SIZE boundary. Note that this is different from truncate_pagecache, which must keep the partial page. In contrast, we must get rid of partial pages.

loff_t const holelen

size of prospective hole in bytes. This will be rounded up to a PAGE_SIZE boundary. A holelen of zero truncates to the end of the file.

int even_cows

1 when truncating a file, unmap even private COWed pages; but 0 when invalidating pagecache, don't throw away private data.
