if it exists.

->releasepage() is called when the kernel is about to try to drop the

indicate that the buffers are (or may be) freeable. If ->releasepage is zero,
the kernel assumes that the fs has no private interest in the buffers.

``releasepage``
releasepage is called on PagePrivate pages to indicate that the
page should be freed if possible. ->releasepage should remove
any private data from the page and clear the PagePrivate flag.
If releasepage() fails for some reason, it must indicate failure
with a 0 return value. releasepage() is used in two distinct
though related cases. The first is when the VM finds a clean
page with no active users and wants to make it a free page. If
->releasepage succeeds, the page will be removed from the
address_space and become free.
``release_folio``
release_folio is called on folios with private data to tell the
filesystem that the folio is about to be freed. ->release_folio
should remove any private data from the folio and clear the
private flag. If release_folio() fails, it should return false.

The second case is when a request has been made to invalidate
