hi everyone For past few days i have been working in the kernel page cache datastructures just for some optimizations....and while using them i came across a necessity to have have the size of those files which are put into cache. i thought it would be easy, for from 'address_space' datastructure i could access 'inode' and then 'i_size'. but the PROBLEM is that while accessing this field during the fetching of any file to page cache this field value starts from 0 and goes on increasing.. (as a matter multiple of page size) . why is it so?? i thought we could get a file size from the field i_size... So my question is ..is there any way to get file size of any file during kernel booting....and also if possible can any one explain the above behaviour??? with regards ajc -- Happiness is when what you think, what you say, and what you do are in harmony -- To unsubscribe from this list: send an email with "unsubscribe kernelnewbies" to ecartis@xxxxxxxxxxxx Please read the FAQ at http://kernelnewbies.org/FAQ
