-/* If invalidate_buffers() will trash dirty buffers, it means some kind
-   of fs corruption is going on. Trashing dirty data always imply losing
-   information that was supposed to be just stored on the physical layer
-   by the user.
-
-   Thus invalidate_buffers in general usage is not allwowed to trash
-   dirty buffers. For example ioctl(FLSBLKBUF) expects dirty data to
-   be preserved.  These buffers are simply skipped.
-  
-   We also skip buffers which are still in use.  For example this can
-   happen if a userspace program is reading the block device.
-
-   NOTE: In the case where the user removed a removable-media-disk even if
-   there's still dirty data not synced on disk (due a bug in the device driver
-   or due an error of the user), by not destroying the dirty buffers we could
-   generate corruption also on the next media inserted, thus a parameter is
-   necessary to handle this case in the most safe way possible (trying
-   to not corrupt also the new disk inserted with the data belonging to
-   the old now corrupted disk). Also for the ramdisk the natural thing
-   to do in order to release the ramdisk memory is to destroy dirty buffers.
-
-   These are two special cases. Normal usage imply the device driver
-   to issue a sync on the device (without waiting I/O completion) and
-   then an invalidate_buffers call that doesn't trash dirty buffers.
-
-   For handling cache coherency with the blkdev pagecache the 'update' case
-   is been introduced. It is needed to re-read from disk any pinned
-   buffer. NOTE: re-reading from disk is destructive so we can do it only
-   when we assume nobody is changing the buffercache under our I/O and when
-   we think the disk contains more recent information than the buffercache.
-   The update == 1 pass marks the buffers we need to update, the update == 2
-   pass does the actual I/O. */
