Yeah - if huge pages were mainline future, rather than the more

Hi,
I am wondering if RHEL 3 (based on 2.4.21 kernel but RH claims they backported
lot of 2.6 kernel's feature into it) supports Multi-Core and Hyperthreaded
CPUs.
Is the CPU-scheduler multi-core/hyperthreading aware? Is it aware ccNUMA
multi-core CPU?
Any input is appreciated.
Thanks

Hi all!
I met a issue that some code changing one process preempt_count.
preempt_count is changed to a very large number, for instant, 0x300,
just before finish_schedule function in schedule.
Who can give me some suggestion to debug such problem?
Thanks very much!

Why? Shouldn't you just export the pointer you need instead?

I think that's more of a case of:
cat /sys/class/power\

Let me note that
I've written a module that acts as a cache for fixed size objects but I
get a soft lockup trying to use the buffer cache.
I've attached the module that reproduces the error. You need to supply the
module with a block device, i.e.
insmod disk_cache.ko devname="/dev/hda2".

For example, you could make this
compatible = "8xx\0mpc885ads";
"mpc885ads-pcmcia\0mpc8xx-pcmcia" or something like that.
Right. I can never remember what goes first...
It doesn't really matter all that much; "correct"
drivers probe for the most specific thing first,
then the next

isnt that a bit redundant?
I'd have thought sys/class/power\ supply/supplyX/type would be better?

Hi again,
what do you think about this? (This patch will work only against last
gamepad rumble support patch)
Thanks for your time
Jan Kratochvil
BigX button on xbox360 gamepad is surrounded by 4 green leds. This
patch adds support to control them.
This device understand to 14
relay_switch_subbuf() does schedule_delayed_work(>wake_readers, 1),
wakeup_readers() only does wake_up_interruptible() and nothing more.
Why can't we use a plain timer for this?
In any case, this "wake_up ->read_wait after a minimal possible delay"
looks somewhat strange to me, could you
