Hi all, I have a question regarding the linux kernel (for those of you who are familiar with it).
I'm looking for a way to add a change to the linux kernel in order to check if I can make it more compatible with my Asus EEE-PC. I would like to change the kernel in such way that it will not do a context switch every time there is a page fault and will wait for the required page to be brought from the SSD (Solid State Drive), then continue as usual. In Such way, I plan to check if I can fasten the speed of the Operating System (Ubuntu for EEE). I thought of adding a TIF flag in the process descriptor (thread_info_32.h) that will tell me if I'm currently in a pagefault and then change the fault_32.c in such way that it will do the "handle_mm_fault(mm,vma, address, write_;" only if there is no pagefault at the moment. Can you suggest any other solution possible or tell me what you think about this solution. I would really appreciate any help with this, Doron.
