当再次memcpy时,也同样是写page cache,可能是调用
struct address_space *mapping = file->f_mapping;
const struct address_space_operations *a_ops = mapping->a_ops;
我认为流程可能相同,具体看mark_buffer_dirty中的实现。
/*
* Mark the page dirty, and set it dirty in the radix tree, and mark the inode
* dirty.
*
* If warn is true, then emit a warning if the page is not uptodate and has
* not been truncated.
*/

if (mapping && mapping_cap_account_dirty(mapping)) {
/*
* Yes, Virginia, this is indeed insane.
*
* We use this sequence to make sure that
* (a) we account for dirty stats properly
* (b) we tell the low-level filesystem to
* mark the whole page dirty if it was
* dirty in a pagetable. Only to then
* (c) clean the page again and return 1 to
* cause the writeback.
*
* This way we avoid all nasty races with the
* dirty bit in multiple places and clearing
* them concurrently from different threads.
*
* Note! Normally the "set_page_dirty(page)"
* has no effect on the actual dirty bit - since
* that will already usually be set. But we
* need the side effects, and it can help us
* avoid races.
*
* We basically use the page "master dirty bit"
* as a serialization point for all the different
* threads doing their things.

呵呵,说实话,还有好多的疑问,估计这里讨论不完,比如函数do_wp_page中下面的注释啥意思:
unlock:
pte_unmap_unlock(page_table, ptl);
