The proc_id value, however, > does not make sense: it maps to core_id - 1. This is the correct setting. The kernel treats core_id==0 as special, therefore we start the indexes there at "1". The kernel treats proc_id=-1 as special, therefore we start those indexes at "0". This is why we initialize core_id=0 and prof_id=-1 before we are able to figure out what the values should be. This is what other ports do. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe sparclinux" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
