If you would like a quote on fixing > specific VM problems Im sure several people will be happy to tender. The very first thing I said in my very first message on this topic is that I've been following LKML for a couple of weeks now and following the VM work. I _know_ there are VM problems. I _know_ there are people working on the problems. Yet, when I post a specific example, with _clear and simple_ instructions on how to reproduce a problem I'm experiencing and an offer to do whatever I can to help fix the problem, I am told repeatedly, in effect "you need more swap, that's your problem" (which isn't really even related to the issue I reported) by names I have come to recognize and respect despite my status as not a kernel hacker. Why shouldn't I be flabbergasted by that? > I guess the patch to fix this that I have in my mailbox to merge doesnt exist. > A pity because if it doesnt exist I cant send it to you huh ... I just don't know how to take that except it seems to uphold everything I said to which you responded so intensely. -- -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- #!/usr/bin/perl -w $_='while(read+STDIN,$_,2048){$a=29;$b=73;$c=142;$t=255;@t=map {$_%16or$t^=$c^=($m=(11,10,116,100,11,122,20,100)[$_/16%8])&110; $t^=(72,@z=(64,72,$a^=12*($_%16-2?0:$m&17)),$b^=$_%64?12:0,@z) [$_%8]}(16..271);if((@a=unx"C*",$_)[20]&48){$h=5;$_=unxb24,join "",@b=map{xB8,unxb8,chr($_^$a[--$h+84])}@ARGV;s/...$/1$&/;$d= unxV,xb25,$_;$e=256|(ord$b[4])<<9|ord$b[3];$d=$d>>8^($f=$t&($d >>12^$d>>4^$d^$d/8))<<17,$e=$e>>8^($t&($g=($q=$e>>14&7^$e)^$q* 8^$q<<6))<<9,$_=$t[$_]^(($h>>=8)+=$f+(~$g&$t))for@a[128..$#a]} print+x"C*",@a}';s/x/pack+/g;eval usage: qrpff 153 2 8 105 225 < /mnt/dvd/VOB_FILENAME \ | extract_mpeg2 | mpeg2dec - http://www.eff.org/ http://www.opendvd.org/ http://www.cs.cmu.edu/~dst/DeCSS/Gallery/
