Week 8 OutlineCS-502 Fall Outline for Today Note on submitting patch files Questions & Discussion on Project #3 More on Files and Disks Networks (If time) Distributed File Systems

Week 8 OutlineCS-502 Fall Submitting Patch Files Keep patch files short –Only changes you make –Differences from original kernel sources Do not include –config files –Output of make commands –Files such as “~” files, backup copies, etc. Do include your name at top of each patch file

Week 8 OutlineCS-502 Fall Patch files (continued) Review each patch file before submitting –Each section begins with a line starting diff -urN … followed by names of files If this is not one of the files you intend to submit, please delete from your source tree and redo patch –You may freely add your name or any comments before the first diff -urN … line Do not use diff3 or three-part patches Do create patch from directory immediate above your kernel source –Don’t prefix with “./”

Week 8 OutlineCS-502 Fall Also remember Need Makefile for test programs Kernel include files and user-space include files are completely independent! Don’t try to add your own user-space include files to /usr/include/linux Instead, use #include “prinfo.h” I need to build your kernel and test program myself … …without having to figure out how to do it!
