Trashing dirty data always imply losing - information that was supposed to be just stored on the physical layer - by the user. - - Thus invalidate_buffers in general usage is not allwowed to trash - dirty buffers. For example ioctl(FLSBLKBUF) expects dirty data to - be preserved. These buffers are simply skipped. - - We also skip buffers which are still in use. For example this can - happen if a userspace program is reading the block device. - - NOTE: In the case where the user removed a removable-media-disk even if - there's still dirty data not synced on disk (due a bug in the device driver - or due an error of the user), by not destroying the dirty buffers we could - generate corruption also on the next media inserted, thus a parameter is - necessary to handle this case in the most safe way possible (trying - to not corrupt also the new disk inserted with the data belonging to - the old now corrupted disk). Also for the ramdisk the natural thing - to do in order to release the ramdisk memory is to destroy dirty buffers. - - These are two special cases. Normal usage imply the device driver - to issue a sync on the device (without waiting I/O completion) and - then an invalidate_buffers call that doesn't trash dirty buffers. - - For handling cache coherency with the blkdev pagecache the 'update' case - is been introduced. It is needed to re-read from disk any pinned - buffer.
