NAME

__filemap_fdatawrite_range - start writeback against all of a mapping's  

SYNOPSIS

"SYNOPSIS"

int __filemap_fdatawrite_range (struct address_space * mapping, loff_t start, loff_t end, int sync_mode);  

ARGUMENTS

mapping
address space structure to write
start
offset in bytes where the range starts
end
offset in bytes where the range ends
sync_mode
enable synchronous operation
 

DESCRIPTION

If sync_mode is WB_SYNC_ALL then this is a ``data integrity'' operation, as opposed to a regular memory * cleansing writeback. The difference between these two operations is that if a dirty page/buffer is encountered, it must be waited upon, and not just skipped over.
