hi
how do i get hold of a i-th block of a file in kernel 2.3 ?
in kernel 2.2 i used to do the following:
block = bmap( inodp, i );
bh = bread( inodp->i_sb->s_dev, block, inodp->i_sb->s_blocksize);
this code doesn't seems to work correctly under the new kernel.
i saw that all the FS code is using now mm page functions to read &
write disk insead of the buffer-cache functions.
is the buffer-cache still in use now ? and if so what is it task ? is
it the memory page primitve ?
please CC me for any answer
THX
