Subject: get_pid() : enahancement
Date: Wed, 4 Apr 2001 12:00:58 +0530	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <65256A24.00233ECF.00@sandesh.hss.hns.com> (raw)



In 2.4 kernel we now have no limit on the number of tasks running on a system
(no NR_TASKS anymore)...

I was just wondering on the efficiency of get_pid() implemetation... Although
'next_safe' concept in this function seems useful but I think we now need a
robust PID allocator..

We can have a discussion so that get_pid() can be made more effecient in future
kernel.
