Not so vague ...
If you need to access the address space of a block device you use (so far):
struct block_device *bdev=open_bdev_excl("<dev>", ...);
struct address_space *mapping=bdev->bd_inode->i_mapping;
If bd_inode "will die", how do I do?

In kernel 2.6.25, bd_inode of  struct block_device has the comment "/*
will die */".
How can I get the address space (mapping) of a block device without
using bd_inode?

Thanks
