Conversion Routine Help

[Vijay Chauhan <kernel.vijay@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi list,

Can anyone please provide me links about the basic explanations of XFS
basic blocks and filesystem logical block mapping and conversion
routines?

I tried to understand from code but its not clear to me:
#define XFS_FSB_TO_BB(mp,fsbno) ((fsbno) << (mp)->m_blkbb_log)
#define XFS_BB_TO_FSB(mp,bb)    \
       (((bb) + (XFS_FSB_TO_BB(mp,1) - 1)) >> (mp)->m_blkbb_log)
#define XFS_BB_TO_FSBT(mp,bb)   ((bb) >> (mp)->m_blkbb_log)
#define XFS_BB_FSB_OFFSET(mp,bb) ((bb) & ((mp)->m_bsize - 1))

lets consider the last one:
#define XFS_BB_FSB_OFFSET(mp,bb) ((bb) & ((mp)->m_bsize - 1))

if basic block (512 byte size) number is 7 and m_bsize is 12
(considering FS block size 4096), then this will return 3 [e.g. ( 7 &
11) ]. then what does 3 means here? what offset value it is denoting?

Thanks in advance.
