Subject: Using tgid instead of pid in ext3_find_near()

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);
........
