Increase yank buffer size of your vi editor

-
If you think that your vi editor's yank buffer size is not enough, you can increase it with the following vi command.

:set viminfo='1000,h

 This command will increase the buffer size to 1000 lines..

Intersection of Linked Lists

-
Image
In some cases 2 linked list can intersect each other. In the following diagram, you see that 2 NULL terminated singly linked lists are intersected at the node 5. In this implementation, we will find in which node the 2 lists are intersecting each other. The function will return the node address. We will use the helper functions form the previous post which add nodes to the lists, print the lists etc... Function which finds the intersection: /* * link_list_intersect() * Finds the intersection node of 2 lists. */ struct node * link_list_intersect ( struct node *list1, struct node *list2) { struct node *long_list; struct node *short_list; int diff = 0 ; /* * Get the lengths of the lists. */ int len1 = list_lenght_get(list1); int len2 = list_lenght_get(list2); /* * Find which list is long and which list is short * and find the absolute lenght difference. */ if (len1 >= len2) { diff = l...

Notification Chains in Linux Kernel

-
Notification chains in Linux kernel is a mechanism for the subsystems being informed by the events generated by the other subsystems. In other words, if you are developing a new driver in Linux and you want to listen some events from other driver and handle these events in your own driver, you need to use the Linux's notification chains mechanism. As an example, if you develop a driver and this driver needs to be informed about the net device events such as net device UP, DOWN events, the driver needs to register itself to the net device notifications with the  register_netdevice_notifier function. Similarly, it unregisters itself with the unregister_netdevice_notifier function. These functions are provided by the net device subsystem. The APIs and the data structures of notification chains are defined in the include/linux/notifier.h and  kernel/notifier.c files under linux source code. In this post, I am going to explain how this notification chains mechanism wo...

Build and Flash OpenWrt for Raspberry Pi

-

OpenWrt is an open source project for embedded operating system based on Linux, primarily used on embedded devices to route network traffic. [ 1 ] In this post, I will write about how to get the OpenWrt source, compile it for your Raspberry Pi board type and flash the SD card with the generated image. First of all, you need a Linux build environment installed with the requirements needed to build the OpenWrt. I use Ubuntu 14.04. In the market, there are 4 types of Raspberry Pi boards. Type 1, 2, 3 and Zero. OpenWrt's latest trunk branch supports all of these types. I will go through trunk. Check out the source: git clone git://github.com/openwrt/openwrt.git This will create a directory called "openwrt" in your current directory. Go inside this directory and run make package/symlinks command. msezgin@ubuntu:~/openwrt/make package/symlinks Now, we need to do the configuration before starting the build. msezgin@ubuntu:~/openwrt/make menuconfig ...
