Status : Writing in multiple quantums is successfully done.

Previous Issues:
1.Allocating memory for qset array incorrectly.
2.Wrongly calculating the number of qset arrays.
Such logical errors are identified and corrected successfully.

revision 1.18
date: 2014/03/03 18:55:17;  author: root;  state: Exp;  lines: +13 -13
Corrected the argument inside kmalloc().The size of the qset array is calculated by multiplying the qset size with the size of the pointer.
Also modified a message to display how many qset arrays are created.
