Hello, all:
I compile my linux module program dony.c with "-D--Kernel__ -DMODULE"
options enabled, and then insert it into kernel using "insmod dony.o" . It
stops when it tries to access a global varible "struct dony_struct
MyPrivateStruct" and complains such messages as "cannot handle page
Um? Huh? This seems like mumbo-jumbo to me. With the exception of those
parts of the kernel that actually manipulate the hardware as hardware, --
which is a surprisingly small part of the kernel, even of the parts of the
kernel that look like what they do is manipulate the hardware as hardware
Hi,
I hope IF C++ kernel modules written I could find the same module written in
C too, because I would refuse using C++ in kernel for various reasons.
I'm Hungarian guy and I can speak English (yeah, only a bit ;-).
Note that I can't make Hungarian the default language for a software
made for no

way the FS is using the name : function construct for the VFS function

Ok so Im back and its time to shift the backlog. Nothing too bad has come up

Hi guys,
Quite a few cases of the usage of smp_call_function() (generic call
function IPI) look like:
smp_call_function(function, info,...);
function(info);
i.e. we invoke it on all other cpus and then on this cpu. The examples are
flush_tlb_all() and do_microcode_update() (possibly others, I d

I have a program that reads and prints /proc/loadavg once per second

I too was having this problem from 2.4.0-test5 to 2.4.0-test9.
2.4.0-test10-pre1 appears to have corrected it (so far at least). I am

I understand that 2.4 no longer maps all physical memory as 2.2
and earlier used to do.
Is there any documentation on this change and how it affects
arch-specific code?
Specifically, we've been basing the VAX port on 2.2 while waiting
for 2.4 to stabilize. Now we're looking at moving to 2.4.

Hi,
This patch makes the X and Y resolution in drivers/input/mousedev.c a
module parameter. In this way the screen resolution can be set by
using:
modprobe mousedev xres=1280 yres=1024
The configure-time resolution is used

Hi!
In the 2.2 series kernel are some fucntions for rotating left / right.
But it seems that the generic_rotr32 / generic_rotl32 as well as the
architecture dependent counterparts rotr32 /rotl32 have disappeared.
Is ther any replacement, and if yes, where ?
thanks.

Hi,
I've read a summary of a discussion about C++ module writing on
this list, and I'd like to make some comments on it. [I'm not
