And when a cleancache-enabled 372 filesystem wishes to access a page in a file on disk, it first 373 checks cleancache to see if it already contains it; if it does, 374 the page is copied into the kernel and a disk access is avoided. 375 When a transcendent memory driver is available (such as zcache or 376 Xen transcendent memory), a significant I/O reduction 377 may be achieved.
