[PATCH] Athlon-SMP compiles & runs. inline fns honored.

2001-02-10 Thread Tom Leete
Hi Alan I found one way to break the circularity. The association of type and struct definitions with interlocking inline functions caused the problem. This extracts task_struct from linux/sched.h to its own header, linux/task_struct.h. There are a few modifications elsewhere to support this.

Hi Jes, I read through your acenic driver and noticed that you replaced spinlocks with bitops. Is that a good idea? I always avoid bitops and replace them with spinlocks: * On uniprocessor they are obviously slower. * on SMP i386 spin_lock() / spin_unlock() is faster than

Easy Way to FS-corruption

2001-02-10 Thread Tim Krieglstein
Hi I found a way which seems to lead to an "easy" way of fs-corruption: Install two sound-cards, use the newest ALSA-Drivers 0.5.10b (the standard sound drivers don't work to good with sf) and talk with speak-freely (7.2) with full-duplex enabled and playing sound on the first card using xmms.
