Hello Andrew,
I found a suspicious bug of I/O accounting in 2.6.20-rc6-mm3.
The number of dirty pages per backing_dev available from
/sys/block//queue/nr_dirty keeps growing when a file is
rapidly overwritten several times.
For example:
% cat /sys/block/sda/queue/nr_dirty
104
% for i in 1 2; do d

Hi,
I'm creating a driver for timer on ixp4xx (there are two hardware timers).
It shall use posix api
so I looked at the only driver that implements it in kernel:
drivers/char/mmtimer.c. My driver uses almost the
same logic that handles overruns.
However, I found that receiving of number of ove

I saw that there is a project in sf.net called Linux Doors.

It is from 2001.

Hi Everyone,
First I'd like to appologise if my query is glaringly obvious. I'm
reasonable new to this, but every that I have read (including the Linux
Device Drivers book) seems to suggest that what I am doing should
work...
I am attempting to allocate a large buffer for DMA transfers in a drive

Yes I wish we would do it that way on all platforms. SGI's SN2 does that
too

Calling find here is overkill, if the sa
If you don't have any builtin frame buffer device driver and insmod a frame
buffer device driver, the logo code will still try to display the logo (which
is __initdata). This may cause a crash.
Originally (2.1.x, is it that long ago I used a modular frame buffer device
driver?), this didn't happen
