[PATCH 2/2] mm: optimize kill_bdev()

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Remove duplicate work in kill_bdev().

It currently invalidates and then truncates the bdev's mapping.
invalidate_mapping_pages() will opportunistically remove pages from the
mapping. And truncate_inode_pages() will forcefully remove all pages.

The only thing truncate doesn't do is flush the bh lrus. So do that explicitly.
This avoids (very unlikely) but possible invalid lookup results if the
same bdev is quickyl re-issued.
