    5151 * - The mapper_get_page() function that return a page descriptor pointer from a page
    5252 *   index in file is in charge of handling the miss on the mapper cache.
    53  * - The vfs_mapper_move_page() function is used to handle miss on one specific page,
     53 * - The vfs_mapper_move_page() function access the file system to handle a mapper miss,
    5454 *   or update a dirty page on device.
    55  * - The vfs_mapper_load_all() functions is used to load all pages of a given directory
    56  *   into the mapper.
    57  * - the mapper_move() function is used to move data to or from an user buffer.
     55 * - The vfs_mapper_load_all() functions is used to load all pages of a given file
     56 *   or directory into the mapper.
     57 * - the mapper_move_user() function is used to move data to or from an user buffer.
    5858 *   This user space buffer can be physically distributed in several clusters.
    5959 * - In the present implementation the cache size for a given file increases on demand,

    119  * This function move data between a kernel mapper and an user buffer.
     119 * This function move data between a mapper and an user or kernel buffer.
    120120 * It must be called by a thread running in the cluster containing the mapper.
    121  * It split the data in fragments : one fragment is a set of contiguous bytes
    122  * stored in the same mapper page. 
    123  * It uses "hal_uspace" accesses to move fragments to/from the user buffer.
     121 * - A kernel buffer must be entirely contained in the same cluster as the mapper.
     122 * - An user buffer can be physically distributed in several clusters.
     123 * In both cases, the data transfer is split in "fragments": one fragment contains
     124 * contiguous bytes in the same mapper page.
     125 * - It uses "hal_uspace" accesses to move a fragment to/from the user buffer.
     126 * - It uses a simple memcpy" access to move a fragment to/from a kernel buffer.
    124127 * In case of write, the dirty bit is set for all pages written in the mapper.
    125128 * The offset in the file descriptor is not modified by this function.
