In kernel 2.4.0 in alloc_uhci when doing request_irq()
Hi,
I am using an usual VIA MPV3 onboard USB device (on a AMD K6-II 400
machine), and it has ever worked fine on Linux (until including
2.4.0-test10). Now I wanted to use the "retail" 2.4.0-kernel, and USB
gets stuck while booting. Last messages are:
usb.c: registered new driver usbdevfs
usb.c: registered new driver hub
usb-uhci.c: $Revision: 1.251 $time 07:06:37 Jan 14 2001
usb-uhci.c: high bandwidth mode enabled
PCI: Assigned IRQ 10 for device 00:07.2
usb-uhci.c: USB UHCI at I/O 0xe400, IRQ 10
usb-uhci.c: Detected 2 ports
usb.c: new USB bus registered, assigned bus number 1
That's all.
I debugged a while and noticed that the error occurs beyond
drivers/usb/usb-uhci.c in the function alloc_uhci() after start_hc (s);
when calling request_irq(), the line reads:
if (request_irq (irq, uhci_interrupt, SA_SHIRQ, MODNAME, s)) {
The called function crashes somewhere on top, as I noticed.
Is there a patch avariable, or should I do further investigation?

I wouldn't call all clean things proper, and I would really not call all
proper things clean. That's one thing I learned in europe.

The way drivers have to be done is mixed of two aspects: 1. The way you do drivers and 2. the way the driver works.

Re: Driver migration question
The way drivers have to be done is mixed of two aspects: 1. The way you do drivers and 2. the way the driver works. You should also try not to rewrite existing functions for not to get a mess of e.g. memory allocation functions that do the same but have different names. Georg Nikodym wrote: So, rather than repeated ask questions of the form: How do I change X (a 2.2 thingy in my driver) to the blessed form on 2.4.x? I'm wondering if there's a driver in the kernel tree that somebody can point to and say, "This is how drivers should be done." In particular, I'm interested in networking drivers but any non-trivial driver will do. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/ - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/

The hibernate to swap patch for Linux really needs to get into the mainstream, and be more thoroughly exercised. Couldn't it be possible to write a "hole" or such into the kernel's vaio driver - or even a /dev file - which can be used by some program to set screen brightness? Cheers!

Re: make mrproper
My guess is that it is a joke. 'Meister Proper' is the German Mister Clean (the big, bald guy on the same-name cleaning agent bottle). I'm not sure of the spelling, though. It's been a while since I've seen the commercials. You've spelled it correct. I dunno if it's Finnish, though. Never been there. Maybe it was put in by a German developer. Maybe not. It was there when I started. Sure it was, since Mr. Proper already existed in the sixties... People who don't know what it means usually use make spotless. I have also already seen Mr. Proper in the US, and some other countries seem to have it, too. Cheers!

Maybe it has some problems with the way you send it to sleep. It could have changed through the times... Cheers!

Re: vfat - vfat copying of ~700MB file, so slow!

I noticed the kernel to increase cache and let the buffers break down during long file copies, it seems like this is the wrong way if only copying one large file. This also happens on SMB connections. I don't know if this info is useful.

I saw a post from Linus once about this. It is Finnish for "Mr. Clean".
Just to be sure: 'proper' does not mean anything in Finnish (nor Swedish
for that matter AFAIK) it just the European(?) product name for 'Mr
Clean'. Possibly it's from German ('proper' = 'clean').
I wouldn't call all clean things proper, and I would really not call all
proper things clean. That's one thing I learned in europe.

In kernel 2.4.0 in alloc_uhci when doing request_irq()
Hi,
I am using an usual VIA MPV3 onboard USB device (on a AMD K6-II 400
machine), and it has ever worked fine on Linux (until including
2.4.0-test10). Now I wanted to use the "retail" 2.4.0-kernel, and USB
gets stuck while booting. Last messages are:
usb.c: registered new driver usbdevfs
usb.c: registered new driver hub
usb-uhci.c: $Revision: 1.251 $time 07:06:37 Jan 14 2001
usb-uhci.c: high bandwidth mode enabled
PCI: Assigned IRQ 10 for device 00:07.2
usb-uhci.c: USB UHCI at I/O 0xe400, IRQ 10
usb-uhci.c: Detected 2 ports
usb.c: new USB bus registered, assigned bus number 1
That's all.
I debugged a while and noticed that the error occurs beyond
drivers/usb/usb-uhci.c in the function alloc_uhci() after start_hc (s);
when calling request_irq(), the line reads:
if (request_irq (irq, uhci_interrupt, SA_SHIRQ, MODNAME, s)) {
The called function crashes somewhere on top, as I noticed.
Is there a patch avariable, or should I do further investigation?
