netlink interface for ethtool a project by mkubecek There seems to be an overall consensus that the ioctl interface used by ethtool is a poor design as it's inflexible, error prone and notoriously hard to extend. It should clearly be replaced by netlink and obsoleted. Unfortunately not much actual work has been done in that direction until this project started. Updated over 4 years ago. 4 hacker ♥️.
ethtool ops for netdevsim a project by mkubecek This can be seen as a subproject of ethtool netlink interface but from the technical view it's independent. Updated almost 5 years ago. No love. 1 follower.
Improving picotm a project by tdz Picotm is a system-level transaction manager. It provides transactional semantics to low-level C operations, such as modifying data structures, (some) file I/O, memory access. Picotm also handles error detection and recovery. It's fully modular, so new functionality can be added. Updated over 2 years ago. No love. 1 follower.
dmidecode: no more open-coded printfs a project by jdelvare There's a long standing request to extend the output of dmidecode to something that would be machine-readable. Something like an XML or JSON-based format. Unfortunately this can't be implemented right now because the output of dmidecode is generated by open-coded printfs as the DMI table is being parsed, with no intermediate structures nor temporary buffers. Updated almost 5 years ago. 3 hacker ♥️. 1 follower.
make "predictable network interface names" more predictable an idea by mkubecek Since the so-called "predictable names" for network interfaces were introduced, the concept and mainly its implementation has been a target of a lot of critique and sometimes even hate. On the other hand, similar idea works reasonably well for block devices. Updated almost 5 years ago. 1 hackers ♥️. 2 followers. Has no hacker: grab it!
