So don't I.
...
so when bd_inode "will die", does it mean that the inode will become
non-available?
Well ... I thought the element "bd_inode" will be removed from the
device structure. But it is heavily used! "mapping" is used in lots of
page manipulation functions, and the only way I found to reach the
address space (mapping) of a device is using bd_inode! For example
btrfs, in development, uses it.
So I must be wrong and "will die" shall mean anything else.
I still have a lot to learn anyway ...
Thanks
