Hi Salah,
If you do the following in befs_read_datastream()
- if (off)
+ if (off) {
*off = pos - (block << BEFS_SB(sb)->block_shift);
+ befs_debug(sb, "read_datastream: off %u\n", *off);
+ }
You will see that off is a multiple of 1024 (node size). 0, 1024, 2048, etc
But now that I look into this again, I realize my patch logic didn't cover all
use cases of befs_bt_read_node(). So I am going to remove it from the commit
list in:
https://github.com/luisbg/linux-befs/commits/for-next
Nacked.
Thanks!
Luis
