Hi,
Thanks Cong Wang for the kind reminding regarding the patch format.
We did notice that the total_remaining_zeroes need be revised as well,
and the start_offset_in_page, num_bytes need not be revised (always smaller
than PAGE_CACHE_SIZE, even the huge page size is supported,
the 4G page size is not present in the current world?)
but we forget to include the revision for total_remaining_zeroes, so here comes the patch.

Cheers,
Li Wang
