The following line printed output as 4 whereas I was expecting 0. printk(KERN_INFO "size of spinlock_t %d\n", sizeof(spinlock_t)); I tried this on a system with single cpu. No debugging flags are enabled while building kernel like CONFIG_DEBUG_SPINLOCK or CONFIG_DEBUG_LOCK_ALLOC. According to kernel header files, it should be zero ...
We are having a problem on Linux with directory inodes getting large and slow to navigate over time, as many files are created and removed. For example: % ls -ld foo drwxr-xr-x 2 webuser webuser 1562624 Oct 26 18:25 foo % time find foo -type f | wc -l 518 real 0m1.777s user 0m0.000s sys 0m0.010s % cp -R foo foo.tmp ...
I'm getting to the point where, after a year or so, I'm more or less comfortable using Linux (Ubuntu, first 8.04, now 9.04) as my main OS (it helped that the competition was, primarily, Vista). I can't shake the feeling that I should learn more about the workings under the hood. I'm relatively inexperienced in programming (I can write s...
Using C++ on the Linux desktop, what is the best way to get the icon, the document description and the application "associated" with an arbitrary file/file path?

I hope the question explained my problem. I would also be grateful if the workaround that "works" is explained. The traditional way of reading a file (that i know of) int fd; char buffer[MAX]; while(read(fd,buffer,MAX)>0) { buffer[MAX]='\0'; write(sockfd,buffer,MAX); memset(buffer,NULL,MAX); } was causing ...
Hello everyone My project involves simulating a block device by remote host. For testing I am using FUSE, my file system is a simple change of the "hello" example app, where instead of returning a constant string I just read data directly from a file. When I try to mount the file normally (mount -o loop=/dev/loop1 ) it works well. Wh...
