525 | ->page_mkwrite() is called when a previously read-only page is | ||
526 | about to become writeable. The file system is responsible for | ||
527 | protecting against truncate races. Once appropriate action has been | ||
528 | taking to lock out truncate, the page range should be verified to be | ||
529 | within i_size. The page mapping should also be checked that it is not | ||
530 | NULL. | ||
