my goal is : in kernel space , get the specific disk block numbers(or sector number) of a file(such as /bin/ls).
because i want to use the block number in DomU, which is a VM in xen. when i read or write a file in DomU, front end driver will send the block number to back-end driver Dom0 , and then in dom0 i can check if the block could be write or not.
