info

This is a module that does nothing on its own but adds functionality to the kernel. By exporting its functions this module allows other drivers to create and use the DaviesCircularQueue fifo to buffer data. There are some improvements that could be made to make the queue more generic but this is a good first pass.

building

make this the way you would any module. You of course need your kernel source and the make system. Change to the fifo directory and issue:

make -C /path/to/linux/kernel SUBDIRS=`pwd` modules

files

This is a GPL module and is yours free of charge:
