Hi,
Recently when I tried to test disk IO of a dual-processor PC
using linux 2.4.0-test1 SMP, I found that the clock slows down.
Could somebody tell me why it happened, and is there any patch
for this problem?
BTW, is there any good tool to measure disk IO, like "iostat"
on Solaris?
Thanks!

It does matter. The sound driver needs to be able to _read_ the current
levels. Almost all mixer programs will start by doing this, to set the

After a stranger than usual late-night #kernelnewbies session on Thursday, I
was inspired to come up with Kernel Hangman. This is the traditional game of
hangman, except that the words you have to guess are kernel symbols.

You know, a more concise way of stating my underlying question might be:
Does POSIX require that programs be aware of signals, in the
"returning EINTR" sense, if they do not use signals, and only use
pthreads?

I respectfully disagree that programs which don't surround some of the

} while (rv == -1 && errno == EINTR);

I think we're getting confused. What I'm advocating is something like this:
init_module()
{
struct mixer_levels *levels;
levels = inter_module_get("mysoundcard_mixerlevels");

and fork a child to do each one.
Of course, it would catch a signal
