Good catch, and you're right. I don't think I actually even want to use
dax->addr for the alignment check here - I want to check if we're
aligned to the block device sector. I'm thinking something like:
if (!IS_ALIGNED(offset, sector_size))
Technically we want to check if sector * sector_size + offset is
aligned, but the first part of that is already a sector :)��.n������g��� �a��� �&ޖ)���)��h���&������梷���� �Ǟ�m������)������^�����������v���O��zf������
