[dm-devel] Synchronizing writes between kernel space and user space.

Hi,
Can anyone tell me the synchronization calls to be used if writes
to a device are being done from both user space and kernel space. I
noticed that lock_page()/unlock_page() is one set of functions that
can be used. Obviously, this is too coarse grained, if buffers are smaller
than the page size. The functions lock_buffer()/unlock_buffer() do not
seem to do the trick.
Please help.
Thanks
Abhishek
