Hi !
I have a problem with reading from a serial port using select() under
2.4.5. What I am doing is basically the following:
fd_set readfds;
struct timeval timeout;
int s;
serialfd = open("/dev/ttyS0", O_RDWR );
init_serial(B9600);
timeout.tv_sec = 2; /* ! */
timeout.tv_usec = 0;

Hi,
Is there a reason for __FD_SETSIZE to be 1024 in
linux/posix_types.h and gnu/types.h ?
Why can't we increase this number by default ?
Shouldn't it be set to the real limit of the kernel ? (And let
applications define their own limit if there is a need for one ?)

Hi,
The following patch fixes a leak in high memory in case a
process is signalled while in nfs_prepare_write().
Cheers,

Hi,
due to something which I consider to be a kernel bug it's
impossible for pam to do its job and set the per-user
RLIMIT_NPROC (number of processes limit) to something which
is lower than the amount of processes root is running at that
moment.
At least, it fails with all programs which set RLI

I upgraded a fileserver to 2.4.5 because of the RAID support (the 0.90
patch I grabbed did not apply cleanly to 2.2.19, despite it being a fresh
copy). Besides a nice speed increase (the EEPro now pumps 10 megs a second,
instead of 2 or 3), there is a problem with the video4linux in it.

I'm doing a project which port a component testing program in DOS which
use GPIB to linux
Does the Linux kernel support GPIB?
I find a linux gpib driver in the linux lab project
http://www.llp.fu-berlin.de/
but the newest version is release at 1999 and i wonder if it still under
development..

The early-flush patch I posted a couple of days ago had the virtue of being
simple and functional, but not optimal for all loads, particularly sporadic
loads that are neither continously heavy or light. Today's patch is not a
lot more complex, but works quite a lot better.
