2007-01-11 Thread markwkm
I caught this thread about O_DIRECT on kerneltrap.org: http://kerneltrap.org/node/7563 It sounds like there is much to be gained here in terms of reducing the number of user/kernel space copies in the operating system. I got the impression that posix_fadvise in the Linux kernel isn't as good as

[HACKERS] ideas for auto-processing patches

2007-01-04 Thread markwkm
OSDL had a tool called PLM with a primary goal to test patches against the Linux kernel. It applied them and built them on multiple platforms. It's a pretty simple idea and here are some links to what it did; the systems appear to still be up for the moment so here are a couple of links to what
