Hi,
I am trying to time a portion of code inside the kernel. How do I do it?
Can I use do_gettimeofday ? or do_getitimer ? Any leads will be
appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
-Srini.

I appreciate your attempt to duplicate the defect on your system. In my
original post I quoted some conversation between Rick Van Riel and Alan
Cox where they describe seeing the same symptoms under heavy

Hi List!
I have a IRIX installation CD, which I want to export to some SGI workstation
via NFS, using an SCSI-CDrom drive.
When I try to access the data, i get several SCSI errors, IO-Errors and so
on, regardless if via NFS or locally.
Errors are:
sym53c8xx_reset: pid=0 reset_flags=1
Using 2.4.4-ac3 (as well as in 2.4.3*) I have found it impossible to
unmap a loopback
strace losetup -d /dev/loop0 (relevant portion)
open("/dev/loop0", O_RDONLY)= 3
ioctl(3, LOOP_CLR_FD, 0)= -1 EBUSY (Device or resource busy)

The only way I know currently is to keep skb->users >= 1 and use a timer
that collects such buffers from a global
I believe you and It's sure that I have not tested all cases.
So do you see a way to use a private data buffer ?

Yes, it is bad. Don't use floating point in the kernel if you don't need.

HZ/10 is much better ...

That just means you didn't test all cases; e.g. not TCP or
I don't know about socket but I allocate myself the skbuff and I set the
destructor (and previously the pointer value is NULL). So I don't overwrite
a destructor.
I believe net/core/sock.c is not involved in my problem but I can be wrong.
What is worrying me is that I don't know who clones my
Hello,
I have an ASUS A7V133 (VIA VT8363A) with 5 PCI slots
and I installed kernel 2.4.4.
All runs fine when I only use PCI slots 1 to 3.
When I use slots 4 or 5, the system
freezes when data is passed to a device in one of
these slots. I tested with a Promise Ultra100, an Intel
