SYNOPSIS

struct page * grab_cache_page_nowait(struct address_space * mapping, pgoff_t index);

ARGUMENTS

mapping

target address_space

index

the page index

DESCRIPTION

Same as grab_cache_page, but do not wait if the page is unavailable. This is intended for speculative data generators, where the data can be regenerated if the page couldn't be grabbed. This routine should be safe to call while holding the lock for another page.

Clear __GFP_FS when allocating the page to avoid recursion into the fs and deadlock against the caller's locked page.
