Programming :: Kernel Module - Task_struct / Files Struct, Open_fds, And The Open File Descriptors In Task?

May 1, 2010

This for Kernel 2.6.29.6. I'm trying to code a kernel module that displays process information.

how to count opened file descriptors per task. I have been able to write a module that lists all the current process names along with their pid number in /var/log/messages. Basically, I cycle through the ring of processes using the macro for_each_process(task) and printk the comm and pid of each task. I'm trying to see how many file descriptors each task has open. I've been reading up in books and all over the internet. At first I thought I needed to access max_fds under files_struct, but that just lists the maximum number of file descriptors that can be opened per task, which by default is set at 256. I then thought about counting the elements in the fd_array. But then I learned that every task's fd_array is initially set at 32. Now I know that I need to access open_fds of type fd_set * in files_struct. open_fds is a pointer to all the open file descriptors. The problem is that I don't know how to access a pointer of type fd_set.

Is there a good guide or book that really focuses on type fd_set and open_fds? Every book and resource I've read never really go into depth on this. relationship between files struct, open_fds, and the open file descriptors in task?

Programming :: Allocate A Cpu Core For Kernel Process?

Aug 3, 2010

My system has Intel Xeon 4-core cpu(hyperthreading 8-core) and run 64-bit linux. I want to allocate one core for general process(kernel process & other processes). And then, I want to allocate the rest of core for the specific multi-thread program.

Q1: I know that I can pthread_setaffinity() for user-mode thread and mpstat for monitoring. So, how can I allocate a core for kernel process and monitor it?

Q2: How can I restrict use of the cores for the multi-thread program? I don't want kernel process to use the cores for the multi-thread program.

Programming :: Producing Open Source Software ?

Mar 24, 2011

Just a heads up. I just found out about a free online book called Producing Open Source Software. It's great.

I just used a trunk checkout and the directions here to make myself an epub version:

EDIT AGAIN: don't download the epub version from here:

If you get it there, then the table of contents doesn't work. Make the epub version yourself, and you have a table of contents.

Programming :: STL Container Into A C Struct

May 23, 2011

I have an old C application in which i am trying to include some STL cointainers. When i use the STL container alone it works fine, but when i include it into a C struct i have segmentation faults errors. I know that it is not a good idea to mix C and C++. Considering this code:

Code:

typedef struct{
int shmid;
...
APPLSPACETYPE applSpace;

[code]...

and how to make a malloc for this issue; something like :

Code:

mem->applSpace.rData.completeGroups2zeroGroup=(map_completeGroups2zeroGroup_type *)malloc((sizeof(map_completeGroups2zeroGroup_type)+1)* sizeof(char ));

Programming :: Difference Between Struct And Union?

Nov 6, 2010

I have been spending time (starting yesterday) reverse-engineering GTK+ to get my programming skills up. I came across a struct in the headers (_GtkArg, which was then typedeffed into GtkArg) that includes a union in it that has pretty much the same properties as a struct. Then, there was a struct inside the union.

I'm confused. Just what is the difference between a union and a struct?

P.S. I am using GTK's native C programming language.

Programming :: Python Serial And Struct On 64 Bit?

May 14, 2010

For a work project, I've got a bunch of python code from about a year ago that controls the movement of our EVI-D30 camera over a ttyUSB connection. It used to work fine on a 32-bit Fedora box, but recently we moved our whole project over to a 64-bit Gentoo server, and the same code seems to be worthless on the new platform. I didn't write the code, so I'm have trouble figuring out how to fix it. Error messages usually look like this:

Code:

File "./CameraController.py", line 172, in pan
turn_callback(cmdStruct[0], cmdStruct[1])
File "./CameraController.py", line 147, in turn_callback
cameras[camera].TiltUp()

Programming :: Dereferencing Pointer To A Shared Memory Struct?

Feb 5, 2011

I have what should be a relatively simple program (fadec.c) that maps a struct from an included header file (fadec.h) to a shared memory region, but Im struggling accessing members in the struct from the pointer returned by shmat. Ultimately, I want to access members in the shared memory structure with a globally declared version of the struct, shm__. Not only do I not know how to accomplish that, but I cant even seem to access members of the shared struct directly from the pointer itself (compiler complains about dereferencing pointer to incomplete type). Im at a loss and could use another set of eyes if you guys dont mind taking a gander:

Compile Errors:
tony-pc:/cygdrive/p/test> cc -o fadec fadec.c
fadec.c: In function 'main':
fadec.c:30: error: dereferencing pointer to incomplete type
fadec.c:31: error: dereferencing pointer to incomplete type

Programming :: Core Dump Issues. Program Crashes But Does Not Generate Core Dump File?

Oct 7, 2009

I want to generate core dump files from my program when it crashes. Its a pretty big process and has about 10-11 threads in it.I have followed the documentation to enable core dump by setting ulimit to unlimited etc. I quickly tried "A demo program creating a core dump" from the following webpage, which succeeds in Segfault and dumping a core file in the directory that I configured.However, I tried running my original program and caused it to crash. I did this by making calls to kill(), raise() or the same null pointer access as shown in the webpage above. In each case, my program crashed but did not generate a core dump file. Am I missing something?My program is in C++ and my environment is Redhat 9.0 (kernel 2.4.20)

Going through the "Why do I NOT get a core dump?" section on the same webpage as above, I can see two potential problems. One - there are issues with the suid/sgid (bullet # 6). I am not able to change any settings with suid because my system does not contain either /proc/sys/fs/suid_dumpable or /proc/sys/kernel/suid_dumpableTwo, my program has threads in it and the bullet # 8 is the problem.

Fedora :: MAYDAY Accidentally Messed Up Fedora Core 12 Partition - Error Reading The Disk

Jan 18, 2010

I did a horrible mistake due to lapse in my concentration. Here is the 80 GB IDE disk geometry:

=> C: Windows XP SP2 15 GB partition
=> D: NTFS parition - 10 GB
=> E:F:G:H: NTFS partitions on the Windows Extended partition.
=> On the same Extended partition, there exists Linux /swap and /root partitions.

What happened was:

a) I wanted to delete the H: parition which was residing adjacent to Linux partition
b) By mistake I opened the Explorer and clicked the Mouse on H: partition and left it like that (forgot)
c) I opened Add/Remove program list but did nothing, to do few uninstalls after partition deletion.
d) Now I opened compmgmt.msc for Disk Management then deleted the H: partition!

Then XP reacted strangely and got almost hung

e) Then I switched OFF and ON the PC.
f) Most shocking was GRUB screen vanished (crash console appears) which means that Linux partition got deleted instead of H: partition!!

It's important to share with you that Fedora Core 12 possess the default BOOT flag. I thought that it's nothing big deal, only a case of Boot flag toggle with DOS bootable CD but am shell shocked to find after hitting the fdisk from DOS it says Error reading the disk!!! I felt like collapsed for a while, don't know how I did such a mistake. how to boot into my Windows XP. I can't afford to loose data or bear the expense on Data recovery
