Any clues as to why is __GFP_RECLAIMABLE not set by default in GFP_DMA,
GFP_KERNEL and such?

I haven't used ftrace yet, but from using commercial RTOSs on
microcontrollers I had gotten used to the terminology :
"RUNNABLE".
I think that's a more appropria

Hi!
I'm using ftrace in order to trace any task or process running. I'm
interesting to the context switch tracing. Ok, I've enabled sched_switch and
the results are in the trace file.
How can I interpretate correctly the results?
What does the following mean?

Hi,
Make the following changes:
TimerFunctionTimer.function = &timerFunction;
Add an __exit section where you delete the timer
del_timer (& TimerFunctionTimer);

You could also do something like this:
I think you need to explicitly initialize the following instance
variable of timer_list:
TimerFunctionTimer.data = funct_parameter; /*function parameter; in
your case a variable of type long*/

Hey guys,
I m trying to schedule a Kernel Timer such that a
function I need runs when the timer expires. But with
the current way I m doing it, the system always
crashes.
Heres what I have:
...
...
/* Function Prototype */
void timerFunction( unsigned long );
...
...
/* Global
current_nr_sectors is the number of sectors yet to be transferred in the
whole request
whereas hard_cur_sectors is number of sectors in the current segment of
the current bio yet to be transferred while processing the particular
request.

Thanks, Shawn. I did look at the SCSI st and sg drivers briefly and will
continue to do so. I guess I did not understand the purpose of the
nopage handler.

I should also mention that get_user_pages() does not map a user-mode >
