anonymous buffer pages


 Hi,

  when are anonymous buffer pages created and how are they removed from
the system  in linux 2.4.19 ? In try_to_swap_out() when it encounters a
anonymous buffer page the page is not unmapped from the process. So how is
this page freed to the free-list ?

 Thanks a lot,
Raghu
