RFC: pageable kernel-segments

2001-04-17 Thread Heusden, Folkert van
Would anyone be intrested (besides me) in a kernel which can page out certain parts of itself? The kernel should be in some kind of vmlinux-ish (as in: uncompressed) format on disk for on-demand re-loading of pages which are discarded. Certain parts of drivers could get the __pageable prefix or

Fix for Donald Becker's DP83815 network driver (v1.07)

2001-04-17 Thread Steve Hill
The attached patch fixes the following problems with the DP83815 driver (natsemi.c): 1. When compiled into the kernel, the cards would be registered multiple times. 2. Autonegotiation code was buggy, causing the card to stop working after autonegotiation. -- - Steve Hill System Administrator

The idea is as follows. Design a hardisk controller that would take care of all harddrive and block device managment and provide a virtual storage area to the OS. This way all the kernel would have to worry about is a virtual harddrive and how to fech and write data from and to it. Buffering,
