Subject: Correct way to release get_user_pages()?
Date: Thu, 27 Jan 2005 19:02:28 -0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <52pszqw917.fsf@topspin.com> (raw)
Reading through the tree, I see that some callers of get_user_pages()
release the pages that they got via put_page(), and some callers use
page_cache_release(). Of course <linux/pagemap.h> has
#define page_cache_release(page) put_page(page)
so this is really not much of a difference, but I'd like to know which
is considered better style. Any opinions?
Thanks,
Roland
