Name

unlock_page — unlock a locked page

Synopsis

void unlock_page (struct page * page);
 

Arguments

page

the page

Description

Unlocks the page and wakes up sleepers in ___wait_on_page_locked. Also wakes sleepers in wait_on_page_writeback because the wakeup mechanism between PageLocked pages and PageWriteback pages is shared. But that's OK - sleepers in wait_on_page_writeback just go back to sleep.

The mb is necessary to enforce ordering between the clear_bit and the read of the waitqueue (to avoid SMP races with a parallel wait_on_page_locked).
