Hi,
after a lightning bolt from high above I've been looking into refcounting
the data structures drivers use to provide the data used to refill sysfs
buffers. I've come to the following conclusion.
1. struct sysfs_buffer must have a struct kref * and probably a destructor
pointer
2. drivers must

Hi,
I'm writing a driver for a sampling device that is constantly delivering a
relatively high amount of data (about 16 MB/s) and I need to deliver the
data to the user-space ASAP. To prevent data loss I create a queue of
buffers (consisting of few pages each) which are more or less directly

Hi Con,
One thing that has annoyed me greatly lately, is that scrolling in
firefox very quickly becomes a huge pain if you have any load on your
box. I typically do make -j4 kernel builds on my laptop (core duo), and
try to stay out of firefox for that period simply because it's not very

Hi Con
Just also wanted to throw in my less than two cents: I applied the patch
and also have the very strong subjective impression that my system
"feels" much more responsive than with stock 2.6.20.
Thanks for the great work.

Adding some more test cases found a bug in the definition of IBSHIFT. At
the moment we have no hardware support for split baud rates but this
showed up once I did testing of that...

This is a request for comments for updates to the integrity service
framework, previously accepted into -mm, and EVM a new integrity service
provider. A new LSM module called Integrity Based Access Control(IBAC),
a consumer of the integrity framework API, will be posted separately to
the LSM mail
This patch adds integrity hooks used to implement an integrity service
provider and updates the previously submitted dummy provider to
support these new hooks.

This patch places calls to the new integrity hooks in the appropriate
places in the fs directory. It is not meant in any way to be viewed
as a complete set, but used as a basis for an initial discussion.

This is a re-release of EVM as an integrity service provider. The
