    [PATCH] buffermem_pages removal (4/5) · 71e6cd0a
    Christoph Hellwig authored
    This is the most discussion-worthy patch of the series:  Change the
    meaning of si_meminfo->bufferram from "all pages in pagecache
    backed by block devices" to "all pages in pagecache".
    
    In the header/manpage is is documented as "Memory used by buffers",
    but as the buffercache is gone I think the new meaning fits the
    intention from pre-pagecache days much better.
