Re: [PATCH v2 00/10] clean up SECTOR related macros and sectors/pages conversions

[Leizhen (ThunderTown)]

Hi, all:
   It seems no one take care about these patches. But I think patch 1 is need. And
the main discussion points of others is whether we should add
sectors_to_npage()/npage_to_sectors() or keep PAGE_SECTORS_SHIFT. And which marco
name do we prefer: PAGE_SECTORS vs SECTORS_PER_PAGE, PAGE_SECTORS_SHIFT vs
SECTORS_PER_PAGE_SHIFT.

Hi, Jens Axboe, Coly Li, Kent Overstreet,Alasdair Kergon. Mike Snitzer:
   Can you take a look at patch 1?
