Modules and DevFS

2001-01-31 Thread William Knop
I decided recently to go bleeding-edge on one of my Linux boxes and discovered I had a problem with module loading while using DevFS. Correct me if I'm wrong, but DevFS only makes /dev entries when a device is present, and the device is not present until the module is loaded. So if I want to a

lowlatency 2.2.19

I am testing Ingo's lowlatency patch on the 2.2.19 kernel and have a strange problem. I applied the most recent patch I could find, lowlatency-2.2.16-A0 and fixed a few failed hunks. The kernel appears stable after many (~24) hours of stress testing with Benno's latencytest suite and others.

One of the difficulties function reordering is getting useful data to figure out a reasonable order for the functions. People do guess wrong on the frequency of particular functions. Also naive ordering techniques like just ordering functions based on frequency do not work well. A North Caroli
