Yeah. I'm working on patches for storing file tails in buffers
allocated from the slab cache, and the tail will be represented by a
fake struct page. (This is primarily for kernels with a larger page
size). So my version of page_cache_size(page) may return a different
size for different pages belonging to the same mapping. I'm in the
midst of cleaning up the patches and plan to post them to linux-mm by
Monday.
Thanks,
