Subject: Linux 2.4 page cache procedures

Hi,
I've looked all over, but haven't been able to find a good description of
the 2.4 page cache procedures (not mmap() system call, but rather for kernel
programming). There's a description in the Linux Kernel 2.4 internals, but
it's somewhat missing some details.

Anyone got a good online reference, would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Amir.

Mel Gorman's VM docs may be what you seek.
