Also minor coding style nit: the "+" is normally at the end of the previous line instead of at the start of the next line, so: /* find first stripe-aligned block in group */ a = e4b->bd_group * EXT4_BLOCKS_PER_GROUP(sb) + le32_to_cpu(sbi->s_es->s_first_data_block) + sbi->s_stripe - 1; > + a = (a * sbi->s_stripe) - le32_to_cpu(sbi->s_es->s_first_data_block); > + i = do_div(a, EXT4_BLOCKS_PER_GROUP(sb)); I guess this doesn't stricly need to be a modulus either, because we know which group this will be in and can just subtract the start. You can just do: /* find first stripe-aligned block in this group */ group_start = e4b->bd_group * EXT4_BLOCKS_PER_GROUP(sb) +; le32_to_cpu(sbi->s_es->s_first_data_block); a = group_start + sbi->s_stripe - 1; do_div(a, sbi->s_stripe); a = (a * sbi->s_stripe) - group_start; Cheers, Andreas -- Andreas Dilger Sr. Staff Engineer, Lustre Group Sun Microsystems of Canada, Inc. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-ext4" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
