Hi, In the function ext*_find_near() we are using pid to have the locality of the blocks for the files which have same functionality. Shouldn't we be using "current->tgid" here instead ?? 410 static ext3_fsblk_t ext3_find_near(struct inode *inode, Indirect *ind) 411 { ......... ........ 433 colour = (current->pid % 16) * 434 (EXT3_BLOCKS_PER_GROUP(inode->i_sb) / 16); ........ -- Thanks & Regards, ******************************************** Manish Katiyar ( http://mkatiyar.googlepages.com ) 3rd Floor, Fair Winds Block EGL Software Park Off Intermediate Ring Road Bangalore 560071, India *********************************************** -- 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
