Subject: [PATCH] ext4: replace ll_rw_block with other functions

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.
