| |
These are the things that I believe should be changed before 2.0.0 is released. I really don't attempt to make patches, because I am not that good of a coder, and I am not that familiar with the kernel source. I'd rather let efficient programmers make the patch.
==============================================================================
*** Change the VFS code in ./fs/devices.c:
> if (!fops->check_media_change(dev)) > return 0; > > printk(KERN_DEBUG "VFS: Disk change detected on device %s\n", > kdevname(dev)); > for (i=0 ; i<NR_SUPER ; i++) > if (super_blocks[i].s_dev == dev)
This code snippet is located right around line 211. I would recommend also printing the date/time of the disk change, since this can be logged, and someone might want to know when disks are changed.
==============================================================================
*** Include the latest Fast Pentium memcpy() patch...

============================================================================== *** Include some kind of CPU/memory quotas, such as in VAX/VMS. If this is possible, can someone please give me some pointers, or information? This would be rather useful. A start could be the tuner daemon, that runs in user modes adjusts priorites. I would think it would require kernel hooks to accomplish such a task, so that is why I post this is the linux-kernel list.
==============================================================================
Thanks... I would appreciate any feedback...
