[Gllug] setting CURRENT in a block driver

Could some clever kernel hacker tell me if CURRENT should be considered
read-only in a 2.4 kernel?  I have some code, i'm attempting to port
from 2.2, in one function the code grabs the io_request_lock and then
sets CURRENT from a variable.  

I'd like to know which way i should approach this from.

BTW, i have read file:///root.mdk/www.xml.com/ldd/chapter/book/ch12.html
and it's still not clear in my mind.

TIA,
-v

 The box said "Requires Windows 95, NT, or better", so I installed Linux
