xfs_zero_extent does some really odd gymnstics to calculate the block
layer sectors numbers passed to blkdev_issue_zeroout. This is because it
used to call sb_issue_zeroout and the calculations in that helper got
open coded here in the rather misleadingly named commit 3dc2916107
("dax: use sb_issue_zerout instead of calling dax_clear_sectors").

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
