I have not read nor ReiserFS code nor ext3 code. Do you push all your
pages in the page cache? If that is the case, I think that a call in
the address space operations is great. The problem is that I can't
see how do you will be able to free memory from an isolated page, I
assume that you need _quite a lot_ of context to decide which page you
can free.

Later, Juan.
