possible reason for segmentation fault
possible reason for segmentation fault
Problem creating a new system call
system call returns "Bad Address". Why?
Re:return values (C.H.Gopinath)
I tried to implement the system call, the way you did. That is
passing 2 strings s1, s2 and finding out their lengths. It did
give me segmentation fault.
I even tried to just print the strings within sys_print_data ()
using printk() as well as sys_write(), it did the same thing.
The message it gave was that the kernel was unable to
do paging at virtual address xxxxx..
I suppose there must be another way to pass strings to
the system call, but I don't know at this point. If I do in the
future, I will let you know.
