Hi, Is it possible to replace a function in the kernel (using a module) without recompiling. This function is an exported function. Basically i wish to extend a functionality of a function (without asking for a stub at this point). Specifically the function void submit_bio(int rw, struct bio *bio) in /block/ll_rw_blk.c Not that i can't recompile the kernel, it is just that i want to create a module that would be able to be distributed with more convenience.
The idea, of course, is to call the submit_bio using the new function but also do other stuff afterward. Basically i wish to extend the functionallity of block_dump (for fun and study purposes) to be centralized in some /proc entry with some stats. -- Regards, Tzahi. -- Tzahi Fadida Blog: http://tzahi.blogsite.org | Home Site: http://tzahi.webhop.info WARNING TO SPAMMERS: see at http://members.lycos.co.uk/my2nis/spamwarning.html ================================================================To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word "unsubscribe" in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]
