Hello everyone,
I'm having a problem loading modules on a 2.4.10-pre10 system.
I'm new at linux & I need to develop a module, so I attempted coding
up the hello.o module from the Linux Device Driver O'Reilly book. I
load the module using insmod & get the following crash dump (Not
OOPS though?!?). I've also tried loading modules delivered with the
kernel and get the same affect.
It's crashing in the sys_create_module() call when it calls memset:
memset(mod, 0, sizeof(*mod));
the address of mod is 0xe1000000, obtained from the module_map()
call which is using vmalloc(). I did notice in the pgtable.h file a comment
where the VMALLOC_OFFSET is defined:
* We no longer map larger than phys RAM with the BATs so we don't have
* to worry about the VMALLOC_OFFSET causing problems. We do have to worry
* about clashes between our early calls to ioremap() that start growing down
* from ioremap_base being run into the VM area allocations (growing upwards
* from VMALLOC_START). For this reason we have ioremap_bot to check when
* we actually run into our mappings setup in the early boot with the VM
* system. This really does become a problem for machines with good amounts
* of RAM. -- Cort
Any help, suggestions, debug tips would be greatly appreciated. I've included
the crash & other info below.
Thanks
Dean
