Will someone kindly clarify a point regarding memory managment for me?
When a mmap()ed page is modified are it's constituent BUFSIZ parts
then made members of the buffer cache? I ask because a new process that
comes along immediately after the modification before a flush to disk
sees the change via a read(). So there is sharing but I read in the TLK
that data cannot be in both the buffer and page caches!? Where is the point of sharing?
Cheers,
