[Linux] callback function

Callback function
The program did "call" the function is initiative, but "callback" function is passive. For example, interrupt handler or event handler was called in some specific situations, they were "callback" functions.
The implementation for callback function is typically a function point in C.

The use of function point is like an abstraction layer. Every driver has to implement the same functions, just like r8169.c ethernet driver must implement the functions related to the pci_driver struct needed.


static struct pci_driver rtl8169_pci_driver = {
        .name           = MODULENAME,
        .id_table       = rtl8169_pci_tbl,
        .probe          = rtl8169_init_one,
        .remove         = __devexit_p(rtl8169_remove_one),
#ifdef CONFIG_PM
        .suspend        = rtl8169_suspend,
        .resume         = rtl8169_resume,
        .shutdown       = rtl_shutdown,
#endif
};

[Linux] script to exclude CVS directory

# find sbin/ -not -name "Entries" -not -name "Root" -not -name "Repository" -not -name "CVS" -not -name "." -exec install -m 755 {} $(INSTALL_DIR)/sbin \;

To delete svn files with "!":

# svn st | grep ! | sed 's/!/svn --force del/g' > run.sh

edit run.sh and add "#!/bin/sh" in first line.

# ./run.sh

[Linux] Device/File system test script

#!/bin/ash

i=1
while true; do
        FILENAME=/mnt/hd/test.tmp
        BLOCKSIZE=1M
        BLOCKCOUNT=100

        echo "--- Write ($i) ---"
        dd if=/dev/zero of=$FILENAME bs=$BLOCKSIZE count=$BLOCKCOUNT conv=sync

        echo 3 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches
        echo 0 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches

        echo "--- Read ($i) ---"
        dd if=$FILENAME of=/dev/zero bs=$BLOCKSIZE count=$BLOCKCOUNT

        rm -f $FILENAME
        i=$(($i+1))
done
