The cache backing filesystem (eg. ext4) might have excised a chunk of zeros from the cache in order to optimise its extent list. This instructs the cache to zero over the cracks. Actually, I need to think a bit further on this. This was written assuming that the cache tracks its content independently - but those patches are not in with this set. > I'm not sure why 'subreq->start' is not incremented with > 'subreq->transferred' when calling cres->ops->read() in 'short read' case. subreq->start shouldn't get changed. subreq->transferred is sufficient.
