Split the vSockets header into kernel and UAPI parts. The former gets the bits that used to be in __KERNEL__ guards, while the latter gets everything that is user-visible. Tested by compiling vsock (+transport) and a simple user-mode vSockets application.

Monte, For a list of online sources that may be useful, go to http://www.uvm.edu/~dhowell/methods/Websites/Archives.html and check out some of the material referenced there. Clay Helberg's site is particularly helpful. Unfortunately it is virtually impossible to keep links current, so some are likely to be dead--although you can often find them via Google.

I am interested in fscache module. I know where to get the userland tools (http://people.redhat.com/dhowells/fscache/) but I am not sure where to obtain its module. Moreover, I am not sure once I get the source code how I can compile it for Centos 5.2. Has anyone compiled, fscache before? TIA

Hello List, I'm trying to prepare some lecture notes on non parametric methods, and I can't manually reproduce the results of the wilcox.test function for ordinal data. The data I'm using are from David Howell's website, available here http://www.uvm.edu/~dhowell/StatPages/More_Stuff/OrdinalChisq/OrdinalChiSq.html If I run the wilcox.test function on the data I get a p-value of .0407, but when I do it myself I get a p-value of 0.0530. It's not so much the jump across 0.05, but the fact that I thought I knew what the function was doing. I know from th...

Have Asterisk connected to a H323 compatible legacy PBX using QSIG protocol and IP trunks. I can call to Asterisk, and from Asterisk using X-Lite softphone but whenever either end picks up, the calls disconnects. No gatekeeper is installed. I have attached a copy of my h323 logfile for debugging. What do you suggest what change needs to take place to keep calls connected? 11:33:19:864

Provide a splice_read stub for ocfs2. This emits trace lines and does an atime lock/update before calling filemap_splice_read(). Splicing from direct I/O is handled by the caller.
