Hi kernel gurus,
I am trying to find out the memory that's used on my linux box.
I find that there are quite a few confusing metrics. How do
I find out the "true" used memory ?
1. For eg. "free -m" shows free memory (excluding buffers/caches)
as 308 MB while I can see(from "df" output) that the t
Hi,
When a process dumps core, the do_coredump() initiates the core
file generation. Is this operation synchronous(does the kernel
wait for core to be completely written to disk) ?
Basically, if I have the parent process waiting for exit of
child which dumped core, can the parent access the core im
ext 4 secs.
Does this look like a fairness/starvation issue ?
Thanks,
Ravi

Hi,
I have a question about scheduling latencies in 2.4.20. We are seeing
that our

under
heavy load ? We believe the process is still alive but I wanted to

Hi,
We have multiple instances of the same executable running on our system.
Do these instances share the text segment or are there multiple copies
of the text segment(one for each process) ? Note that I am not talking
about the shared libraries.
I note that do_exec calls do_mmap to map the executa

Hi,
I am facing following problem and was wondering if somebody could help
me out.
Our char driver(pretty much like all other char drivers) does a

Even though some data is available to be read(verified using one of o
