Official thread: "zen-sources" - Part III

[mmike]

Code: Select all

        memory=malloc(count*1024*1024*sizeof(short));
        memset(memory,0,count*1024*1024*sizeof(short));
        free(memory);

Good news everyone, i'll push 2.6.25-zen1 to master as soon as i get home. PAtches from sourceforge will also be available. Everything builds with make allmodconfig, stuff is cleaned up, we also dropped some stuff which was redundant (like acer-acpi, which has been merged into mainline).

nice

looking forward to it

[kriko]

Excellent, going to try it as soon as possible - I'm especially interrested into BFQ.

Hi mike and thanks for the reply. If I understend it right that code is trying to reserve all available memory (+ which is cashed) and then to free it. 'count' is I suppose size of RAM in MB? And why do you need '*sizeof(short)'?

[mmike]

its just a ugly hack..
acutally it doesnt really matter how much you alloc, just enough so that that the system frees some caches or swaps.

[math_roc]

to free memory the clean way:

Code: Select all

#!/bin/bash
sudo sh -c "echo 3 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches"

you may need to enable some stuff in the kernel to got "/proc/sys/vm/drop_caches" but I don't remember which :s

Just tried 2.6.25-zen0 on x86 and i get build errors.

Code: Select all

make[1]: *** No rule to make target `block/bfq-iosched.o', needed by `block/built-in.o'.  Stop.
make: *** [block] Error 2

I disabled BFQ and get new error so i stopped.

bfq isn't "supported" / working in .25-zen0,

this splice-error should be fixed in latest master-devel - otherwise see one page behind

any ETA when .25-zen1 will be out ?

[Kollin]

Could you update please custom-kernels overlay with 2.6.25-* kernels

[dodo1122]

Yes, once we release -zen1. By the way, -zen1 is delayed till tomorrow, as we need to review ckpatches to ensure they are stable enough to be used. Also, we are trying to fix btrfs acl support. Everything else is ready(tm), including aufs .

just take your time, guys, it shall really become a stable & well-working release (incl. bfq)

[kernelOfTruth]

could you please also include the following 3 reiser4-patches ?

http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.file ... eral/21498
http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.file ... eral/21499
http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.file ... eral/21500

many thanks in advance

edit:

it seems as if those patches were already added to zen-sources - but how ?

- so please ignore above mentioned patches

[deno]

@math_roc

Thanks!

[darklegion]

bfq isn't "supported" / working in .25-zen0,

Master-devel + bfq on amd64 is working for me, although I assume by "supported" you mean "tested".

I remade most of the branches, so now reiser4 branch contains only the reiser4-for.2.6.25 patch. Does it include those patches which you posted, or is it the reiser4-devel branch?

dodo

[kernelOfTruth]

if the reiser4-2.6.25.patch equals the 2.6.25-mm1 reiser4-branch it doesn't / isn't included yet

(to be honest I dunno)

according to the patches the should be needed - unfortunately none of them apply cleanly ...

[kernelOfTruth]

do you guys have a working bugzilla system right now ?

if yes - what is the address ? this should make communication for you a lot easier ...

thanks for adding the missing files, btw:

[zen-menu] add missing files zen-menu

this should make master-new ready for (test-)consumption, I guess

[kernelOfTruth]

[kriko]

I checked out master-devel but there is no bfq. At least I did this:

Code: Select all

git branch master-devel origin/master-devel
git checkout master-devel

Did I do something wrong?

[Uzytkownik]

I'm not sure but it seems like it has been renamed to master-new.

ok, screw that

it rather seems to be TOI's fault (or both)

I'm not sure but it seems like it has been renamed to master-new.

it didn't get renamed it's a new branch

[Uzytkownik]

Could you give some guide of branches?

[ejs76]

do you guys have a working bugzilla system right now ?

if yes - what is the address ? this should make communication for you a lot easier ...

Have you tried bugzilla on the new SF.net zen-pages? (Don't know if it works out of the box...)
