Hi all,

ll_rw_block() has deprecated since 1da177e4 and some filesystems, such as xfs
and btrfs, also don't use it. So I propose that maybe we should replace it with
other functions (e.g. submit_bh() or bh_submit_read()). Meanwhile, ext3 might
need to replace it too. But I am not sure whether or not this proprosal is good.
So any comments are appreciated. Thank you. If it is ok and good to ext3, I
will generate a patch for it.

Regards,
Zheng

ll_rw_block() has deprecated. Thus, we should replace it with other functions.

  I'm not sure. ll_rw_block() is one of deprecated functions which noone
really tries to deprecate too hard. But using submit_bh() and friends for
consistency probably makes sense.

  Let me improve English a bit:
ll_rw_block() is deprecated. Thus we replace it with other functions.

  Besides that I have one comment below:
