Hi All
I am trying to work on a block driver.
I have a read call from my user test file and is as follows:
read(fd, ubuf, 1024));
In the driver: the request ( read_sector ) gets invoked with
parameters specified in current request.
cur_req(&blkdrv, sector, CURRENT->current_nr_sectors, CURRENT->buffer);
Anyone pl tell how the the "no:of bytes" parameter ( 3rd arg) in read
call gets converted to
sector( starting sector from where to read ) & current_nr_sectors
(number of sectors to read)
in the driver.
Can i give the sector number from where to start and number of sectors
to read from user test file.
Thanks in Advance
Sudheer
