22 * Later we can get more picky about what "in core" means precisely.
23 * For now, simply check to see if the page is in the page cache,
24 * and is up to date; i.e. that no page-in operation would be required
25 * at this time if an application were to map and access this page.

35 * any other file mapping (ie. marked !present and faulted in with
36 * tmpfs's .fault). So swapped out tmpfs mappings are tested here.
38 * However when tmpfs moves the page from pagecache and into swapcache,
39 * it is still in core, but the find_get_page below won't find it.
40 * No big deal, but make a note of it.
