Hi,
On sparc64 we dont care about the different memory zones and iterating
through them all over the place only serves to waste CPU. I suspect this
would be the case with some other architectures but for the moment I
have just enabled it for sparc64.
With this patch I get close to a 1% improvem
Hi all,
IMHO subject is self explaining :)

Hi,
Just wonder what exactly the difference between buffer and cache in linux
memory management is.
Cache is used for filesystems, so that files read from a fs are kept in
memory in order to provide faster access next time.
Then what is buffer used for?
As executables are also kept in memory, ar

before the tasks are switched:

Kernel 2.4.2 with ac20 patch seems doesn't like my motherboard
I have FIC SD11 with VIA686A chipset. I compiled it with support of

Ok I understand better now.
So when we swap in, the place is still reserved in swap for the next time we swap off
the same memory part.
The swap is freed only when the owner terminates.
Then when we need more memory, we need to swap off but we don't use the duplicated
part.
I understand that it
IIRC, when this discussion of swap size first came up, the general
conclusion was NOT that you should have swap = 2 * RAM, but that you
should have swap(2.4.x) = 2 * swap(2.2.x), that is, twice as much swap
as you did under 2.2.x.
So if you never swapped at all under 2.2.x, you should not need

OK, thanks for the clarification - I need to get into the source.

install a later version of modutils, as the /lib/modules directory tree
has changed between 2.2.
I've attached a patch.
I tried to trigger the problem with my 10 MBit ne2k-pci connection, but
without success.
Could you try it?
I've tested it with -ac17, and it applies to 2.4.2 cleanly.

The not reclaiming swap space is flawed in more than once instance.
Suppose my P1 and P2 have their swap reserved -- now both grow.
P3 is idle but can't fit in swap. This is going to result in fragmentation
no? How is this fragmentation less worse than just freeing swap.
Ever since Ram sizes go

Where is the counter for these dropped packets? If we run a few mbit of
traffic through the box, we see noticeble p
Well, it's been almost a week since the latest stupid bug was found in the
JFFS2 code, so I suppose it's time to admit to the world that it exists.
JFFS2, developed by Red Hat, is a complete reimplementation of a
journalling filesystem for FLASH devices, based on the original JFFS

I want it fixed, but don't have much time for it now.
Patches are welcome, though.

Hello,
this patch includes the ISDN driver for AVM A1 PCMCIA from Carsten Paeth
into the linux kernel sources. Without the patch, it might be confusing
for a user to be able to select AVM A1 PCMCIA support for the kernel, but
it still doesn't work (because the PCMCIA part is missing).
Cheers,
Jo

That's the question.. the first task started gets pid=1, and when
that is true, exec /sbin/init has no proble
