Hi, all
when I read the source code of function do_mpage_readpage(struct bio
*bio, struct page *page, unsigned nr_pages,
sector_t *last_block_in_bio, struct buffer_head *map_bh,
unsigned long *first_logical_block, get_block_t get_block)
, there are following codes I can not understand:
block_in_file = (sector_t)page->index << (PAGE_CACHE_SHIFT - blkbits);
last_block = block_in_file + nr_pages * blocks_per_page;
last_block_in_file = (i_size_read(inode) + blocksize - 1) >> blkbits;
if (last_block > last_block_in_file)
last_block = last_block_in_file;
page_block = 0;
/*
* Map blocks using the result from the previous get_blocks call first.
*/
nblocks = map_bh->b_size >> blkbits;
if (buffer_mapped(map_bh) && block_in_file > *first_logical_block &&
block_in_file < (*first_logical_block + nblocks)) {
unsigned map_offset = block_in_file - *first_logical_block;
unsigned last = nblocks - map_offset;
for (relative_block = 0; ; relative_block++) {
if (relative_block == last) {
clear_buffer_mapped(map_bh);
break;
}
if (page_block == blocks_per_page)
break;
blocks[page_block] = map_bh->b_blocknr + map_offset +
relative_block;
page_block++;
block_in_file++;
}
bdev = map_bh->b_bdev;
}
parameter *first_logical_block is 0 when calling this function.
Since block_in_file is the file block number of the first block in the
parameter page, in the if statement, what is the meaning of
block_in_file > *first_logical_block &&
block_in_file < (*first_logical_block + nblocks)? I will be so
appreciated if someone will interpret the meaning of above codes!
Thanks!
Best regards
