hi, it may be a stupid question, but I am not quite clear about what "first_logical_block" is used for as one of parameters of "do_mpage_readpage".
I searched all the source code and I found that "first_logical_block" always equals zero when passed to "do_mpage_readpage" and is used only in scope of "do_mpage_readpage". This makes me wonder about: 1. when should "first_logical_block" passed as non-zero values ? 2. why "first_logical_block" is one of args of "do_mpage_readpage" instead of being a local variable of it ? ( it seems that no one uses "first_logical_block" outside "do_mpage_readpage") Anyone can help me out .
