Hi All, Is there a max number of slabs that can be used per kernel module? I'm having a tough time finding out that kind of information, but the array 'node_zonelists' (mmzone.h) has a size of 5. I just want to avoid buffer overruns and other bad stuff. Cheers, Brendan

How to convert Linux Kernel built-in module into a loadable module

modlstrmod

modlstrmod(9S)                                              Data Structures for Drivers                                             modlstrmod(9S)

NAME

       modlstrmod - linkage structure for loadable STREAMS modules

SYNOPSIS

       #include <sys/modctl.h>

INTERFACE LEVEL

       Solaris DDI specific (Solaris DDI)

DESCRIPTION

       The modlstrmod structure is used by STREAMS modules to export module specific information to the kernel.

STRUCTURE MEMBERS

       struct mod_ops     *strmod_modops;
       char               *strmod_linkinfo;
       struct fmodsw      *strmod_fmodsw;

       strmod_modops           Must  always  be initialized to the address of mod_strmodops. This identifies the module as a loadable STREAMS mod-
                               ule.

       strmod_linkinfo         Can be any string up to MODMAXNAMELEN, and is used to describe the module. This string is usually the name  of  the
                               module, but can contain other information (such as a version number).

       strmod_fmodsw           Is  a  pointer to a template of a class entry within the module that is copied to the kernel's class table when the
                               module is loaded.
