try_to_release_page(9)
NAME
try_to_release_page - release old fs-specific metadata on a page
SYNOPSIS
int try_to_release_page(struct page * page, gfp_t gfp_mask);
ARGUMENTS
- page
- the page which the kernel is trying to free
- gfp_mask
- memory allocation flags (and I/O mode)
DESCRIPTION
The address_space is to try to release any data against the page
(presumably at page->private). If the release was successful, return
`1´. Otherwise return zero.
The gfp_mask argument specifies whether I/O may be performed to release
this page (__GFP_IO), and whether the call may block (__GFP_WAIT &
__GFP_FS).
