From: Hans Reiser Reiser4 distinguishes two types of page dirtiness. When reiser4 dirties a page within a reiser4 context (during reiser4_file_write, for instance) page gets tagged PAGECACHE_TAG_DIRTY. Besides that reiser4 puts it into a transaction, so that transaction manager knows how to deal with that page. When page is dirtied via address space's set_page_dirty operation (page was dirtied via mmap) transaction manager is unaware of existence of those dirty pages. At some moment reiser4 has to put them under transaction manager control. To do that we need a way to find all those pages. So, we tag then with newly added tag: PAGECACHE_TAG_FS_SPECIFIC. We assumed here that number of radix tree tags is allowed to extent. Adding new tag increased struct radix_tree_node from 276 to 284 bytes. Number of struct radix_tree_nodes which pack into one 4k page did not change and is 14. For 8k page that number decreased from 29 to 28.
