Nice :) > The pager reads and writes data the same way tarfs_read_node () and > tarfs_write_node () do: namely, by calling into the existing cache > implementation. Actually I'd say the pager should replace the cache. The pager is already a cache by itself, we should not need to keep both the pager and the cache, particularly since it means having to keep both coherent. > Is there a better way to deal with a held mutex that unlocking it > before calling a function that re-locks it? Yes, avoiding the situation. If you unlock a mutex, anything can then happen, and you can easily get to an incoherent state. > (Making the mutex recursive, perhaps? That's usually frowned upon because it's often a sign that you don't know at various places whether you hold the lock or not. > Or extracting the inner part into its own function?) Yes, in some cases that makes sense. Samuel
