| |
I've been playing with xosview 1.4 (which is really nice) when I read the notice of the author that he doesn't understand current Linux memory management. I've lokked into the code and found that struct sysinfo (<linux/kernel.h>) has no field for the new "cached size" that was added into /proc/meminfo.
Looking into the kernel sources of 1.3.100, I did not find any hint that cached size were added to the buffers. Thus I suspect that it is missing. Utilities like xosview could need it. What about adding? (Stephen?)
An other thing in xosview is the serial port monitor that directly accesses the I/O ports. Isn't there an ioctl() to get this? If not, how about adding one? (Ted?)
