Re: Read operation on Block device.

[manish regmi <regmi.manish@xxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks prasanna for the correcting me. 
Now, 
 What i understood is the generic_file_read finally calls the
read_page function which is File system specfic.
It then calls the buffer cache function block_read_fullapge and
finally get_block.
If the reqd block is not in the cache, how does it fetch from the physical disk?

thanks 
Manish
