[11:43] <domas> hi! I'm getting various kswapd deadlocks on our machines, like this one: http://p.defau.lt/?AftWGQnCtD1G80ZjIr7cyg - it seems any VFS pressure can cause this...
[16:14] <MalikLamin> hey you all, I've just throw mysef
[16:15] <MalikLamin> myself in the linux driver development, how do I compile and run my modules without compiling all the kernel
[16:15] <MalikLamin> ?
[17:18] <MalikLamin> does anybody know a good GUI for editing the linux source code
[18:11] <mnemo> MalikLamin: emacs and vi has semi-GUI versions available.... some people use eclipse+CDT as well... or maybe anjuta would work?
[18:12] <mnemo> MalikLamin: to compile all modules in the current directory execute this command:
[18:12] <mnemo> make -C /lib/modules/`uname -r`/build M=$PWD modules
[18:12] <mnemo> for example you can do this in .../drivers/gpu/drm to create drm.ko
[18:21] <MalikLamin> ok
[18:21] <MalikLamin> thanks mnem
[18:21] <MalikLamin> mnemo
[18:21] <mnemo> np
[18:21] <MalikLamin> i will try kdevelop and ajunta or maybe eclipse
[18:22] <mnemo> yea
[18:23] <mnemo> MalikLamin: some people find cscope (command line) or kscope (GUI) useful for browsing .c sources
[18:24] <mnemo> but the lxr website is also really useful for reading kernel sources
[18:24] <mnemo> you can launch "cscope -R" in any directory containing .c sources.. and it will let you search for the definition of certain function names etc
[18:25] <MalikLamin> ahnram, ok. So, if I do create a new module, isnt it necessary to recompile all the kernel????
[18:30] <mnemo> MalikLamin: if you recompile a module you can either copy it into the proper place in the /lib/modules/kernel tree and then reboot, or you can just "insmod" it right there (but this is not permanent)
[18:30] <mnemo> you never need to rebuild the kernel to use a rebuilt module
[18:33] <MalikLamin> ok
[18:34] <MalikLamin> I got
[21:01] <aLeSD> hi all
[21:01] <aLeSD> the realtime kenrel of the 8.10 is breoken ?
