The get_module_symbol and put_module_symbol functions do not work when
the kernel is compiled with CONFIG_MODVERSIONS. They are a third
mechanism for modules to pass data to each other, the other two are
exported symbols which are resolved at insmod time or via registration
functions.

I'm building Linux-based routers and need to be able to forward as
many packets per second as possible over gigabit ethernet. It turns
out that choice of network adaptor is critical, but very little
information is available from manufacturers or on the web about
packets-per-second performance of d

Hi all,
I keep getting the following error in the logs. Can someone tell me what
it means. It started when I put 2.4.0test10-pre6. I upgraded to 2.4.0-test10
last night and I got it again this morning. If you need more info just let me
know and I will provide it. I am not sure what would be reve

Hello,
I wrote about a week or so ago about switching DMA modes on the HPT370
controller.
I've been fiddling and have found something odd.
If I compile a kernel without the 'HPT370' option in the IDE/ATA config,
the machine starts okay, and after turning DMA on, the drive fetches about
21.5MB/s

Yes, there is. It's INIT_TASK_SIZE. See include/linux/sched.h for
this.

You could simply recompile

Hello,
I do not think that the following behaviour (2.4.0-test10 on i386, also
tested with 2.4.0-test8) is intended:

I'm working a project a work that is using Linux to run some very
math-intensive calculations. One of the things we do is use the 1-minute
loadavg to determine how busy the machine is and can we fire off another
program to do more calculations.However, there's a problem with that.

Hi kernel hackers,
Is there a limit to the stack size (automatic variables) in driver methods, esp.
ioctl?
I was just implementing some generic ioctls where the size field and cmd field
are defined at runtime. For testing I use a kernbuf on the stack.
The driver's ioctl interface, which is norm
