Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-freebsd-hackers@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG hi all, Why cant pages in the PQ_CACHE queue be freed at interrupt time. as far as i could see these pages are clean, though they are still associated with the object. So what prevents us from dissociating them from the object . we dont have to do any io and hence not block. well maybe i am missing something here. will somebody please explain it to me?? thanx in advance joy To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
