Hi,
Sorry if this question is too silly.
I could not understand what getname(filename) function in the sys_open()
function is doing. I could not understand from the code what exactly it is
doing. Please help me with the same.

Hi Sathish,
The function of getname() is to allocate some (kernel-space) memory for
the userspace-passed filename and copy it from user space to kernel space.

Hi folks!
When I try to copy large files (let say some iso-image or disk image) over

Can anybody please tell me what the following assembly code means:

Linux 2.2 is now firmly into maintainance state. Patches for neat new ideas
belong in 2.4. Generally new drivers belong in 2.4 (possibly in 2.2 as well
after 2.4 shows them stable). Expect me to be very picky on changes to the
core code now.

Switching from 2.4.2 to 2.4.5 breaks i810_audio on my intel MX440 based notebook:
After some (in fact a few) seconds of playback it gets stuck until the app closes and

I tried 2.4.4 and 2.4.5 (and the ac patches on both) but it does't work anyway.

I just ran into something odd. To me anyways, it was odd.
I just installed and brought up kernel 2.4.5 and my ipchains failed.
So I upgraded to the latest (that I could find) ipchains-1.3.10, and
that also fails.
Has anyone got any version of ipchains to work with the new(er) kernels?

It does appear that the documentation regarding this is out of date.
However, you can still install modules to a given location by:
INSTALL_MOD_PATH="/path/to/modules" make modules_install
Had to dig through the Makefile for that, though it may actually be
documented somewhere.

First I thought this was an X-issue, but now I'm 100% sure that it isn't,
as I met the desscribed hangup while working on the console too.
The NMI card would be interesting, if anyone tells me how to make one, and
how to patch the kernel to show useable information i'm looking forward to
do it,
I don't know if this is due to symbols not being exported or due
to some failed dependency structuring in "make menuconfig".

I'm porting a driver from 2.2 to 2.4, and this driver calls lookup_dentry,
which doesn't exist in 2.4. I've read through the source code and searched the
web and newsgroups, and I can't find any explanation as to why lookup_dentry no
longer exists or how I'm supposed to change code that uses it.

Linus,
Any chance you can finally merge this fix or suggest what better one you
are looking for? When this bug bit me in early April, an investigation
showed that this particular fix has been in the ac kernels since last
November.
Thanks,
Scott

Hello asm gurus..
I need a simple (??) change to atomic_inc() functionality. so that i can
increment and return the
value of the variable.
current implementation in linux/include/asm/atomic.h does not do this job.
any help would be greatly appreciated.

LOCK just mean
I've got a strange situation, and I'm looking for a little direction.
Quick summary: I get sporadic lockups running 2.4.5-ac13 on a
ServerWorks HE-SL board (SuperMicro 370DE6), 2 800MHz Coppermine CPUs,
512M RAM, 512M+ swap. Machine has 8 active disks, two as RAID 1,
6 as RAID 5. Swap is on RAID
Hi all!
I think it's possible to hang the kernel useing isic 0.05
(www.packetfactory.net/Projects/ISIC/), when there's a unclean match in
iptables rules.
Example:
(somewhere on target:)
iptables -A INPUT -m unclean --match unclean -j DROP
(on local machine:)
# isic -s rand -d target.ip

Thanks, that seems to have fixed it. There's something else I'm curious about
tho

The C-names-in-asms stuff is explained in (g?)as.info. The explanation is
a bit strained, but after the third or fourth read it becomes fairly
sensible.

When diffing 2.4.6-pre2 & pre3 I noticed some reiserfs code was changed.
This seems to cause VFS to panic via reiserfs.
Anyone else notice this?

Two things:
1) It broke apparently with gcc 2.95.3 when patching from 2.4.6-pre2 ->
2.4.6pre3
2) I tried building it with gcc 3.00 and had same result.
3) I now have gcc 3.00 and going to rebuild 2.4.6-pre2 and see if reiserfs
