Re: getting panic during kmalloc

I have tried kmalloc with both GFP_KERNEL and GFP_ATOMIC. and if i m using delay in the loop then it runs for more iterations. Without delay it was running approx. 95K iterations but after the delay of 40 us, it is running approx. 256K iterations... and giving the same panic after it.

Re: serial driver changes

This is second stab at the ussp driver. I'm not sure about the TTY_NORMAL that was in port-tty-flip.flag_buf_ptr under the USSP_READ - should this flag character be inserted into the flip buffer after the data bytes, as seen in the patch? Thanks, Hinko -- ČETRTA POT, d.o.o., Kranj Planina 3

Freebsd namei equivalent in Linux VFS

Folks, Is there any equivalent of this namei(9) freebsd thingy in linux ? Here is the man page for the freebsd namei filters say http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=nameisektion=9 Any pointers for this in linux are appreciated. Thanks Naresh.

Re: getting panic during kmalloc

Disagree. kmalloc allocates from kmalloc_caches, if kmalloc(24, ..), internally it allocates 32 (2^5) bytes. On Wed, Jul 2, 2008 at 9:08 PM, Rajat Jain [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi, Although kmalloc() gives you 24 bytes per call that you can use, but internally it allocates in pages, and

Re: Freebsd namei equivalent in Linux VFS

Thanks! Look at path_lookup() in fs/namei.c. (Hint: if you follow the call chain from the sys_open() system call you can figure it out yourself).

Defining new variables for use in multiple c files. How do I create header files that can be #included in multiple c files?

I am trying to define a variable that needs to be manipulated by one c file in the kernel and read by another c file in a different directory. I have defined the variable in a header file that is #included in both c files. The problem is when I compile the kernel I get an error saying that the
