Provide a higher-level function than fscache_write() to perform a write from an inode's pagecache to the cache, whilst fending off concurrent writes by means of the PG_fscache mark on a page: void fscache_write_to_cache(struct fscache_cookie *cookie, struct address_space *mapping, loff_t start, size_t len, loff_t i_size, netfs_io_terminated_t term_func, void *term_func_priv, bool caching); If caching is false, this function does nothing except call (*term_func)() if given. It assumes that, in such a case, PG_fscache will not have been set on the pages. Otherwise, if caching is true, this function requires the source pages to have had PG_fscache set on them before calling. start and len define the region of the file to be modified and i_size indicates the new file size. The source pages are extracted from the mapping. term_func and term_func_priv work as for fscache_write(). The PG_fscache marks will be cleared at the end of the operation, before term_func is called or the function otherwise returns. There is an additonal helper function to clear the PG_fscache bits from a range of pages: void fscache_clear_page_bits(struct fscache_cookie *cookie, struct address_space *mapping, loff_t start, size_t len, bool caching); If caching is true, the pages to be managed are expected to be located on mapping in the range defined by start and len. If caching is false, it does nothing.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
