filemap_write_and_wait_range - write out & wait on a file range  

SYNOPSIS

int filemap_write_and_wait_range(struct address_space * mapping, loff_t lstart, loff_t lend);
 

ARGUMENTS

mapping

the address_space for the pages

lstart

offset in bytes where the range starts

lend

offset in bytes where the range ends (inclusive)
