lost bounds.h in include/linux

Dear all: I try to build external modules with 2.6.31.19-generic headers in my ubuntu9.10. I type "make clean" in the 2.6.31.19-generic-headers and that delete my bounds.h. >From website, http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=695783, I try to use make prepare to save it back, and I get error m

Schedule() call in driver context.

Hello all, Why would a linux driver call "schedule()" ? The LDD proposes this method to fight systems hangs caused by an infinite loop in the driver. In this case the "schedule()" call would be a workaround. I think better fix the infinite loop and abstain to call schedule()... I found more th

Dear all: I have one question "how do I figure out what files build withing a module?" Kcnofig helps to define each CONFIG. Makefile determine which file will be compiled.
