buf_markdelayed

Mark a buffer as a delayed write: mark it dirty without actually scheduling I/O.

Declaration

void buf_markdelayed(buf_t bp);

Parameters

  • bp:

    Buffer to mark.

Discussion

Data will be flushed to disk at some later time, not with brelse(). A sync()/fsync() or pressure necessitating reuse of the buffer will cause it to be written back to disk.
