No read is actually done. * Then, when the process actually reads the data, the kernel gets the user page fault (`gnumach/i386/i386/trap.c:user_trap`), which calls `vm_fault`, etc., until actually getting to `gnumach/vm/vm_fault/vm_fault_page` which eventually calls `memory_object_data_request`, which is an [[RPC]], i.e., that actually results into the [[translator/ext2fs]] server calling `hurd/libpager/data-request.c:_pager_seqnos_memory_object_data_request`. * That calls `hurd/ext2fs/pager.c:pager_read_page`, which looks for where the data is on the disk, and eventually calls `hurd/libstore/rdwr.c:store_read`, which eventually calls `device_read`, which is an [[RPC]], i.e., that actually gets into the kernel calling `gnumach/linux/dev/glue/block.c:device_read`. * ext2fs eventually finishes the data_request() function, the kernel installs the page into the process that got a fault.
