Disabling a BH : spin_lock_bh or local_bh_disable.

Hi All, I was referring to Unreliable Guide To Locking by Paul Rusty Russell. Here is a quote below :- If a bottom half shares data with user context, you have two problems. Firstly, the current user context can be interrupted by a bottom half, and secondly, the critical region could be

Unable to access mounted sd card partition on resume from hibernate

Hi All, I am working on a ARM based custom platform which has a mmc controller (by Designware.) The mmc controller driver is dw-mmc.c. On kernel bootup, I insert the driver and then I mount the mmc device on /mnt. I am able to perform file-system operation(ls, cp, mv, rm) on /mnt. Then without

RE: why a static function is in kernel symbol table

Thank you very much for replying. I actually notice that there are many static functions in that file. However, some of them show up in symbol table, the rest do not. So what you are saying is that there is no connection between being a static function and showing up in kernel symbol table.

Hi, dear list, I want to be clear about the USB hotplug procedure. I read Linux Device Driver and Documentation/usb/hotplug.txt, and google much. Per my understanding, the USB hotplug works as following: 1) Insertion of physical U-disk will trigger a hardware interrupt. And interrupt handler

Re: why a static function is in kernel symbol table

I think I found the cause. After GCC optimization, those static functions are not visible any more in the object file (not sure because of function inlining?). Thus, they don't show up in vmlinux or /proc/kallsyms. I tried changing it to -O0, they all show up. Thanks, Ji On Fri, Jun 13, 2014 at
