Query regarding dma_alloc()
by sandeep kumar July 29, 2011

July 29, 2011

Hi all, What is the difference between the following memory allocations. 1) Memory allocation by doing, char *buf; buf = kmalloc(BUF_LEN, *GFP_DMA* | GFP_KERNEL); 2) And by char *buf; buf = dma_alloc(...); in the link http://www.arm.linux.org.uk/developer/memory.txt it says that dma_alloc() returns virtual address in "ffc00000-----fffeffff" this region, while in the first case it is returning Virtual address in "low-memory" region. For DMA mappable memory which one we should use..? -- With regards, Sandeep Kumar Anantapalli,

Question about interrupts
by manish honap July 29, 2011

July 29, 2011

Hello all, When interrupts are handled through interrupt gate cpu automatically clears IF flag. but to allow nesting kernel sets the IF flag in handle_irq_event - for 2.6.11 but in 2.6.39 how the interrupts are re-enabled so as to facilitate nesting of interrupts I am unable to find local_irq_enable in do_IRQ() Thanks in advance.

Regarding netlink connector documentation code.
by mindentropy July 28, 2011

July 28, 2011

Hi, In the example of the netlink connector code can somebody clarify if the coding is not right? The buf here (http://lxr.linux.no/#linux+v3.0/Documentation/connector/ucon.c#L114) is 1024 which will be cn_msg. In the nlmsghdr the buf is 128(http://lxr.linux.no/#linux+v3.0/Documentation/connector/ucon.c#L65). Should the nlmsghdr be atleast bigger than the cn_msg? I understand the payload len being 0 and this being just an example with hardcoded values. Thanks.

Using RPMBUILD
by Rodger Swann July 28, 2011

July 28, 2011

Hi all, I have to use rpmbuild to build my kernel. I also have to apply patches and replace source code in the kernel source tree. I have figured out how to patch the files that I need patched by adding Patch blah and then AppyPatch in the spec file. I then created a sym link to the patch file in the rpmbuild SOURCES directory. Now on to replacing the code in the source tree. I have tried untaring/unzipping the kernel source , putting in my source and retarring and zipping, I have tried symlinking it, etc. But each time the build directory contains source code that is not the code that is what I inserted and it is not clear to me where it is coming from. I am fairly frustrated so if anyway has encountered this or knows how to do it I would appreciate the help. Spoon feeding is not required a I will gladly rtfm but I will need a nudge in the right direction. Oh, here is the command that I am using: rpmbuild -bb --target=`uname -m` --with baseonly --without kabichk kernel.spec Rodger
