Verifying module

2011-01-03 Thread Mag Gam
We are planning to deploy a system for a client. I was told that leaving unnecessary modules (ie. jfs, usb, etc...) will not cause latencies in the kernel however the client is very sensitive. They care about latencies in microseconds and I was wondering if leaving unnecessary modules loaded

All, I don't think the kernel is yet tracking SSD vs Rotational. It would be a nice patch if someone would do that. I don't maintain the subsystem, but I assume it would be accepted if well done. You could model your patch by looking at how the drive topology patches were done. Effectively

I thought about using 3 files in sysfs. 1. address of the register 2. data to write to the register 3. trigger that do the write The most effective solution would be to have one file per register. Writing register: # echo value /sys/path/to/file Reading register: # cat /sys/path/to/file

All, Please ignore. the code is there (see ata_id_rotation_rate()), I just missed it somewhere along the line. I'm still walking thru it, so I'm not sure of the details. === detail if you care The most recent update is for 2.6.37 and it introduced the first quirk. eg. The new flag is

Hi all, I came across this interesting blog by Miguel de Icaza(Gnome author): http://tirania.org/blog/archive/2010/Dec-31.html This is about how to and how not to contribute to open source project. This list is breeding ground for future kernel hackers, so I hope this article would be useful.
