The watch64 system allows the programmer to specify the approximate interval at which he wants his variables checked. If he tries to specify shorter interval than the minimum a default value of HZ/10
I agree with the basic principle; it is very similar to mine. However, it is too complicated isn't it? I would do per-"table" registration (instead of per-variable one); watch64_getval() seems very u
Yes, I saw a patch on lkml a while a go (possibly yours?) that used a workqueue (IIRC.) I considered the option of removing the capability of the programmer asking for a certain interval, and instead
The following fixes watch64 patch previously submitted to follow CodingStyle guidelines. BK repo is up to date as well Jeff. Signed-off-by: Josef "Jeff" Sipek <jeffpc@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> -- 1.7/kernel/wat
Sorry about the white space, KMail apparently likes to butcher the text. These are the same patches with the little cleanup update. Jeff. - -- Reality is merely an illusion, albeit a very persistent
There was a discussion about 64-bit network statistics about a year ago on lkml. watch64 is a generic so that anyone in the kernel can use it. Jeff. - -- Mankind invented the atomic bomb, but no mous
Sorry unsubscribed from lkml since summer of '94. [net related discussions should really happen on netdev]. Ok - so why does this have to be in the kernel? cheers, jamal

Sorry, I missed your email. netdev was CC'd during this whole discussion. I think it is convenient to have the 64 bit net stats reported by the kernel. Jeff. - -- My public GPG key can be found at ht
