It looks like newer versions of gcc are detecting code that looks odd. Certainly that code does look odd. What it is doing is quite sensible, but it isn't try...

The offending code was rewritten in Commit: cc19db8b312a ("MIPS: ralink: mt7621: do memory detection on KSEG1") in Linux 5.17. That patch applies cleanly on 5.15 and compiles. I haven't tested...

Thanks for the encouragement. No, not donation address, but thanks for the thought.

Thanks for the patches.... However I really don't like the excessive quotes. This is C. Quotes don't say "this is a string" - because everything is. Quotes say "this needs...

Thanks for trying this out and reporting the results! I had a look at the code in kernel/futex.c and the only place that futex_init() calls cmpxchg_futex_value_locked() is in futex_detect_cmpxchg(). It...

There is a report of similar problem on http://groups.google.com/group/gnubee/t/b21f65a820e43b62 which was resolved by using a different version of the compiler. I'm using gcc-7.2.0 and bin-utils 2.29.1.20170915 without problems. I can...

I think that CPU0 handles all the interrupts. I wonder if distributing them would help (or hurt. These three files /sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:00.0/pci_bus/0000:01/cpuaffinity /sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:01.0/pci_bus/0000:02/cpuaffinity /sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:02.0/pci_bus/0000:03/cpuaffinity all contain 'f' If you set them...

If you still experience this on recent kernels, please try `ethtool -A ethblack autoneg off; ethtool -A ethblue autoneg off` The hypothesis is that the gnubee sends ethernet "Pause" frames...

Strange ... I'll build one and see what happens. Might take a while :-)

(Sorry for the delay). I don't understand that last comment. The images linked there not lot related to this gnubee-tools package ... except that they are used on the same...
