    ext3: provide function to release metadata pages under memory pressure · 6b082b53
    Toshiyuki Okajima 提交于
    Pages in the page cache belonging to ext3 data files are released via
    the ext3_releasepage() function specified in the ext3 inode's
    address_space_ops.  However, metadata blocks (such as indirect blocks,
    directory blocks, etc) are managed via the block device
    address_space_ops, and they can not be released by
    try_to_free_buffers() if they have a journal head attached to them.
    
    To address this, we supply a try_to_free_pages() function which calls
    journal_try_to_free_buffers() function to free the metadata, and which
    is called by the block device's blkdev_releasepage() function.
