Subjectwrite(2) and page cache
From
Hi,
When I write(2) on a file such that the size of the buffer being
written is less than the page size, and the page is not in the page
cache, does the write syscall block until the page is brought into the
page cache from disk (to modify it and eventually write back), or is
the page reading part async with respect to write?
