I noticed strange behaviour recently with a driver i'm developing and
tried to replicate it in a simple module to determine if it was my
driver or a kernel bug. Basically i allocate 120k with kmalloc then
initialising this memory i get the following oops. (I've tried this on
several machines with the same results)
Any ideas what is wrong?
Note: the tainted flag is set due to no license in the test module, code
is attached.
ksymoops 2.4.3 on i686 2.4.10-ac10. Options used
-V (default)
-k /proc/ksyms (default)
-l /proc/modules (default)
-o /lib/modules/2.4.10-ac10/ (default)
-m /boot/System.map-2.4.10-ac10 (default)
Warning: You did not tell me where to find symbol information. I will
assume that the log matches the kernel and modules that are running
right now and I'll use the default options above for symbol resolution.
If the current kernel and/or modules do not match the log, you can get
more accurate output by telling me the kernel version and where to find
map, modules, ksyms etc. ksymoops -h explains the options.
