Hi,
Another piece of information...

Then dentry_cache grows really fast.
But if within 'C' code if I write while(1), then everything is okay.

Add free_initrd= option to control freeing of initrd memory after
extraction. By default, free memory as previously.

I am trying to create a custom ELF and Windows PE loader for the purpose

allocate memory for a binary at the desired address in memory
(especially if its non-relocatable). I would like to see why I cannot

Currently the documentation targets are listed completely different than

This is a re-submission of the same public key patches (updated for

Hi,
I am running 2.6.18 kernel on 64 bit AMD machine. (procinfo attached
at the end of the mail). One of the things I have noticed that
dentry_cache grows really fast under certain code path.
So, far I have not seen any problems, but I would like to get some
more input on this subject. Is it okay

to the usage of __ types (like __u32) without first including
linux/types.h ... so the question is, should all of these headers be
fixed to properly pull in linux/types.h first or are users expected to
"just know" the correct ord
