[Devel] [RFC][PATCH] pidspace in coda fs

[sukadev at us.ibm.com]

Hi

I am trying to understand how the pid, pgid, and sid fields coda_in_hdr
are used. Are they really required ? If so, can you please review/comment
on the following patch. If they are not required, can I submit a patch
to remove the three fields ?

Appreciate your input.

Suka

Use container-safe interfaces for pid and pgid.
