BLOCK_INVALIDATEPAGE(9)		 The Linux VFS	       BLOCK_INVALIDATEPAGE(9)

NAME
       block_invalidatepage - invalidate part or all of a buffer-backed page

SYNOPSIS
       void block_invalidatepage(struct page * page, unsigned int offset,
				 unsigned int length);

ARGUMENTS
       page
	   the page which is affected

       offset
	   start of the range to invalidate

       length
	   length of the range to invalidate

DESCRIPTION
       block_invalidatepage is called when all or part of the page has become
       invalidated by a truncate operation.

       block_invalidatepage does not have to release all buffers, but it must
       ensure that no dirty buffer is left outside offset and that no I/O is
       underway against any of the blocks which are outside the truncation
       point. Because the caller is about to free (and possibly reuse) those
       blocks on-disk.
