 |

Did sombody managed to applay win4lin patches to gentoo(pfeifer)-sources?
If not, lets disscuss this.
I'm working on it now, seems that this is possible.
Only two ynigs unclear yet, but I still hope.
Fresh ideas and experience are welcome.
So, let's do it together  |

And where is such win4lin patch of gentoo-sources available?
I'm doing it now, if it will work, I will add patch here.

I solved all assembler related problems, however I have no idea how to integrate win4lin patch with O(1) vm rmap patch. This is the mentioned rejection:
| Code: |
***************
*** 305,310 ****
counter = mmlist_nr;
do {
if (unlikely(current->need_resched)) {
__set_current_state(TASK_RUNNING);
schedule();
--- 310,318 ----
counter = mmlist_nr;
do {
+ #ifdef CONFIG_MKI
+ CALL_MKI_HOOK(MKI_HOOK_SWAP, (void *)priority, (void *)gfp_mask);
+ #endif
if (unlikely(current->need_resched)) {
__set_current_state(TASK_RUNNING);
schedule();
|
CALL_MKI_HOOK is in swap_out() call, however in the new (gento-sources) MM there is no function with this name. And there is also nothing similar to this. It seems that we need someone with exhaustive Linux MM knowledges. I will try to figure a right place in new (gento-sources) MM where CALL_MKI_HOOK call should be, however I cannot guarantee success...

| I got about that far about 2 months ago, with the gentoo-sources around at the time. Same approx place. I decided that I also new little about the new schedule stuff that I'd leave it for someone else (it was my first kernel hack/patch). I am very interested to read the source when the solution is found by someone here/Nettraverse. As far as I know its not a gentoo-sources issue, just an issue with any kernel with the O(1) scheduler.. ie, all from 2.4.22 onwards I think. I'm sure there'll be an answer soon with 2.6 moving along. |
