Passing kernel space data buffer where userspace is expected.

Hi All, I want to encrypt the data before it is written to the disk and decrypt is after it is being read from the disk. so copied the ext2 source code in my directory. Then modified the ext2 file_operations structure to invoke my read and write functions instead of do_sync_read/write const stru

how are you supposed to invoke "namespace.pl"?

just curious, but how does one execute the script "scripts/namespace.pl"? based on the early comments, it seems that you should just cd to the top of the kernel source tree, do a build, then run the script with no arguments. i tried that but got a truckload of "No source file found" msgs eve

Re: request_firmware on-fly

Hi, maybee I don't correctly explain situation. Main processor consist from ARM core and 3 co-processors. To co-processors should be load FW after boot sequence, but sometimes is necessary load FW when device is running. So stop co-processors and load different FW. I would like to ask if this is p

Re: Why both macro definitions and struct declarations are included in sched.c?

" It's especially important to put a declaration or definition in a header file when it will be shared between several other files" I guess those definitions or declarations are used only in sched.c , so there is no reason to put them in header file. Daniel. On Wed, Aug 6, 2008 at 5:05 PM, Zellu

Why both macro definitions and struct declarations are included in sched.c?

Hi all I'm learning scheduling algorithm and reading sched.c ( http://lxr.linux.no/linux+v2.6.11/kernel/sched.c) , and come up with a question. As C FAQ 10.6 points out, macro definitions and struct declarations should be put in header files(http://c-faq.com/cpp/hfiles.html) But sched.c violates

Hi, it is possible to call request_firmware in case that I would like to load new FW to device on-fly? I have more FW beause device has low memory and program is splitted to several bin files. Thanks in advance Marek -- Marek Beliško Ruská Nová Ves 219 08005 Prešov Slovakia http://binaural.i
