Where are these buffer_xxx macros/fucntion defined?

Hi,

I see that a lot of FS code is using buffer_invalidate(), buffer_req() etc, but I could not find the definition of these anywhere in the tree. What am i missing? For example, see ext3 code using buffer_invalidate() here[1].

For building cscope and tags database, I invoke the following command from the top of the tree:

$ make cscope tags

Thanks,
Amit

Hi Kumar Amit,
?
These function are define in
?
?
http://lxr.linux.no/linux+v3.10/include/linux/buffer_head.h
?
?
The ## (double number sign) operator concatenates two tokens in a macro invocation (text and/or arguments) given in a macro definition ?
?
/*
?* Emit the buffer bitops functions.?? Note that there are also functions
?* of the form "mark_buffer_foo()".? These are higher-level functions which
?* do something in addition to setting a b_state bit.
?*/
BUFFER_FNS(Uptodate, uptodate)
BUFFER_FNS(Dirty, dirty)
TAS_BUFFER_FNS(Dirty, dirty)
BUFFER_FNS(Lock, locked)
BUFFER_FNS(Req, req)
TAS_BUFFER_FNS(Req, req)
BUFFER_FNS(Mapped, mapped)
BUFFER_FNS(New, new)
BUFFER_FNS(Async_Read, async_read)
BUFFER_FNS(Async_Write, async_write)
BUFFER_FNS(Delay, delay)
BUFFER_FNS(Boundary, boundary)
BUFFER_FNS(Write_EIO, write_io_error)
BUFFER_FNS(Unwritten, unwritten)
BUFFER_FNS(Meta, meta)
BUFFER_FNS(Prio, prio)

These function get expanded before we compile the kernel. ?
