This is because GROUP_AT(group_info, some_integer) uses an integer divide.
So having to do XXX thousand divides during one syscall can lead to very high

This driver reports voltage, temperature and fan sensor readings
on an ADT7473 chip. The ADT7467 chip seems to share some registers
with this one, so it may be possible to add support for it, though
the therm_adt746x driver seems to cover it ok on a PPC Mac.

Great.
why do you think best formula is sqrt(GB*10)?
please tell me if you don't mind.

__always_inline on some static functions was to ensure they ended
up in the .kprobes.text section. Mark this explicitly.

This patch changes the x86 PCI code to disable IO and/or Memory
decoding on a PCI device when a resource of that type failed to
be allocated.
This is done to avoid having unallocated dangling BARs enabled
that might try to decode on top of other devices.
If a proper resource is assigned later on

To make it possbile to tell other modules about curent
graphics dmar engine status, that could decide if graphics
driver should remap physical address to dma address.
Also this one trys to make dmar_disabled really present

[agp-mm] [AGP] intel_agp: add support for graphics dma remapping on G33
When graphics dma remapping engine is active, we must fill
gart table with dma address from dmar engine, as now graphics
device access to graphics memory must go through dma remapping
table to get real physical address.

It is good to me.

Sure? Afaik that results in a bit slower access to memory and appart

Hi, Hugh,
Thank you so much for t
Based on the recommendation and observations of Hugh Dickins,
page_cgroup_assign_cgroup() is not required. This patch replaces it with
a VM_BUG_ON, so that we can catch them in free_hot_cold_page()

This patch series is the start of my attempt to simplify and make explicit
the chained scatterlist logic.
It's not complete: my SATA box boots and seems happy, but all the other
users of SCSI need to be updated and checked. But I've gotten far enough
to believe it's worth persuing.
Cheers,
Rusty
This patch introduces 'struct sg_ring', a layer on top of scatterlist
arrays. It meshes nicely with routines which expect a simple array of
'struct scatterlist' because it is easy to break down the ring into
its constituent arrays.
The sg_ring header also encodes the maximum number of entries, us

Hi all.
I noticed that the code segment of the user level in PPC64 machines
is in a VMA with a write permission enabled.
I'm using the following machine attributes:
*
Host Name : mtlsqt185
Host Architecture : ppc64
Linux Distrib
Using sg_rings, we can join together scatterlists returned by other
subsystems, without needing to allocate an extra element for chaining.
This helps the virtio_blk device which wants to prepend and append
metadata to the request's scatterlist.
As an added bonus, the old virtio layer used to pass
301 - 400 of 408 matches
