what is the use or function scheduler_tick in kernel??????????

I have been trying to modify some driver code to essentially setup the DMA engine that is on a PCIe card and have it DMA to another PCIe card's memory region instead of the system memory. I am using a machine that has (I think) an Intel X38 Express north-bridge or similar and I believe it is also using ICH9 south bridge.

Hello all,

I'm experiencing in some strange troubles. I've an IBM x series server with 4 quadcore intel processors and 22gb of RAM. I'm using RH 4 U6 with kernel 2.6.9-67.ELlargesmp.
This system serves an heavy used Oracle 10g database.

After 1 hours from boot, under have I/O maybe due to a transaction, system seems to hang. dmesg reports:

xfs is so slow at deleting directory trees that I wonder if there's some performance problem with the xfs code. I have read this is a known characteristic of xfs, but still, minutes, as in, more than 120 seconds, to delete a few lousy directories containing a mere 370M of files?

Hi

when copying file on a usb disk connected to a mips card there are many interrupts issued

before transfert
# cat /proc/interrupts

CPU0

4: 0 ADI fusiv gpio

6: 4899 ADI fusiv serial

9: 15275 ADI fusiv timer

10: 22261 ADI fusiv timerPulse

13: 33 ADI fusiv eth1

I am seeking assistance to this memory problem in Linux:

My distro: MontaVista version 2.6.10 (mvl401-ep852)

In "steady state", I execute the "free" command to display info about free and used memory on my system:

> free
              total         used         free       shared      buffers
  Mem:       127396        42884        84512            0            0

My system performance is dropping by a whopping 75% when run with the CFS packaged with Fedora 10. My software runs well on Solaris, Windows, earlier Fedora releases and Centos releases but not on Fedora 10. Note: It is only my best guess that the CFS is responsible for the performance degradation.

Hi all,

have a problem, for some reason one of our machines is being rebooted by some process which calles reboot() to reboot machine and we can not figure out what process is doing that :(

Hi All,

I am developing one router for my own purpose. I have a specific scenario in which my user processes are getting started.

Setup:
=====

H1 ---------------> G1 --------------> G2 -------------------> H2

H1 - Lan host of Gateway(g1).

H2 - Lan host of Gateway(g2).

Hi all,

I'm veeeery new to the kernel building business, please pardon my lameness

I'm building 2.6.30-rc2 kernel from scratch, I've;
$ git clone git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git linux-2.6
$ cd linux-2.6
$ make 0=../build defconfig
$ cd ../build
$ make -j4
# make modules_install
# cp arch/i386/boot/bzImage /boot/bzImage-2.6.30-rc2

Hi all, guys!
I'm now writing my thesis to degree at the university. My work is about the covert (or
subliminal) channels in network protocols. The practice part of my
work is to implement such channels and suggest the security mechanism.
I'm a Linux fan and developing it under 2.6.27 kernel.
The problem occured when I tried to use the mechanism of function

If it's made impossible for a buggy or malicious application running on one VT to mess up state or

Also, make sure you remember:

1. Fonts

I have been burned many times by an X server that didn't save/restore font tables properly. VT 1: setfont foobar.psf. VT 8: Do stuff in X. VT 1: the font is messed up.

I have a PVR running Fedora 10 with a 250G ext4 filesystem, created when the disto was installed from DVD. The filesystem is used to store OTA HD TV, files on the order of 6-7G, created by an HD HomeRun, an ethernet-based HDTV tuner, capable of creating two files concurrently. I'm running an almost-latest 2.6.27 kernel, from the Fedora binary rpm.

Hi,

I am looking for a way to compile the kernel as a library.

Any idea? suggestions?

Hi,

I am new to linux kernel. I am trying to make an uncompressed iso kernel image for linux 2.6 so that i can load kernel on some i386 emulator like qemu. I know that make bzImage makes compressed image.

can u please tell me if there is any way for building "uncompressed" bootable iso image for linux kernel?

Thanks in advance,
Sunny.
