[Netnice-developer] Linux 2.6.12 and Netnice

[Matt D. <mat...@gm...>]

Much thanks goes out to Scott, I applied his patch to 2.6.12 and the 
kernel boots fine.  Mounting the nnfs fs works seemingly error free too. 
    I have yet to do much testing with this but it looks smooth.  The 
kernel with the applied patch is now in CVS and you can give it a shot:
"cvs co -r netnice2612b Linux"

Thanks Matt,

sounds like a good restart. we've got to first check the functionality,
and i believe netnice-2.2/contrib/nndiag will help you. please feel free
to fix any bug in the testing script :-)

thanks!

hi all!

i updated the patch to 2.6.15 kerenel tree.
the patch works fine and infact while commiting the code and writing this
mail i am using the 2.6.15-NETNICE kerenel with bandwidth limit for
cvs set to 64K and it works perfactly fine. the next thing i am planning to
do is nnfs cleanup and vif deletion and proper attachments of vif to 
processes and reference counting for the vif.

the patch should be in CVS by the time you are reading this mail.

to get the 2.6.15 with netnice:
cvs co -r netnice2615a Linux

check it out!


thanks all

[Netnice-developer] patch-2.6.15

[kartikey b. <kar...@ho...>]

hi all,

sorry about mess up. i  tried to update the repository with my patch but i 
din't succeed.
finally i had to create a new environment for linux and uploaded my patch.

"linux netnice" developers please make a note of the following.

i imported linux kernel version 2.6.15 with vendor tag LINUX and release tag 
LINUX_2_6_15 as the main branch. the directory (or module) is linux-netnice. 
and then i create a development branch with the first patch as patch1.

to checkout use
cvs co linux-netnice (for HEAD)
cvs co linux-netnice -r patch1 (for patch).

please do not commit to the HEAD directly.

so do cvs co linux-netnice -r patch1 and give it a shot.

thanks

[Takashi O. <ta...@wi...>]

thanks kartikey, and welcome back.

so, the new commit is to make netnice work with the latest linux kernel.
right? i also want to make sure that

> vif deletion and proper attachments of vif to processes and reference
> counting for the vif

this part refers to the bug i've been reporting. right?

that will be really helpful. when you finish the debugging part (that
won't be too hard), please notify us so that Matt can apply the changes
you make to 2.6.12. please note that we need to keep the 2.6.12 branch
updated, since Knoppix is currently 2.6.12-debian based. (and, when they
migrate to the latest kernel, we'll follow them, relinquishing the branch.
we may also merge your "linux-netnice" and "Linux" modules that time.)

thanks!

Re: [Netnice-kernels] Re: [Netnice-developer] Linux 2.6.12 and Netnice

[Matt D. <mat...@gm...>]

I had better results when i ran... (ill have to re run it and attach my 
results but I can do that later...

I wanted to start tackling a bug mentioned you mentioned to me Taka ... 
in FreeBSD/miscfs/nnfs/ for July 23 2005:
http://cvs.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.py/netnice/FreeBSD/miscfs/nnfs/Attic/nnfs_vnops.c?view=log&rev=1.1.4.4&sortby=log&only_with_tag=netnice411

I would like to code a fix for Linux but there is a good possibility 
Scott has ameliorated the situation, and it no longer needs fixing. 
Suggestions?  If thats already covered what kernel stuff should I start 
adding/modifying/fixing?

Thanks

-Matt


Fixed a serious bug, which prevents drainage of packets in a deleted 
leaf node.
NEED TO APPLY THE SAME CHANGE TO OTHER NETNICE OSs..

is this true, Scott?

Matt, i think i included a test case to check the bug i mentioned,
in the nndiag script. so, if you can run the script without kernel panic,
we're now free from the bug. but, in my understanding, the Scott's latest
patch fixes some trouble in NNFS, not the bug i reported. Scott, i would
appreciate if you confirm this. thx.

you may try L1-3 task (NPF porting), lib2, or nndiag, in the chart.
