SubjectA question on block_prepare_write()
From
Date
Hello,

I see block_prepare_write() has local variable wait[2] to keep track of
buffer_heads which are not up-to-date. But I'm wondering how it could be
guaranteed there will be no more than 2 such buffer_heads? Is there any
restriction on the usage of the function? Using MAX_BUF_PER_PAGE instead
of the magic number 2 is just useless? I couldn't find any comments or
documentation on this.

Any of your comments would be greatly appreciated. TIA. :-)
