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,

Hi all,
I am working on USB data monitoring on Fedora Core 9. Kernel 2.6.25 has a built-in module (the one that isn't loadable, but compiles and links statically with the kernel during compilation) to snoop USB data. It is in <kernel_source_code>/drivers/usb/mon/.
I need to know if I can... (0 Replies)
Hi All,
I need to develop a kernel module which changes the IP address of a package according to its mac address. It would be a sort of L2 Nat.
Somebody know if I can do this using netfilter??
Thanks. (2 Replies)

Is it /dev/kmem file or something... (1 Reply)

Hey everyone.
I am going to be using XFS for a project coming up. We're running RHEL 5.5. Simply typing
modprobe xfs
works just fine. The kernel module loads without any issue. Is there any issue with doing this and inserting "modprobe xfs" into /etc/rc.modules?
Is there a major reason to... (0 Replies)
Question may seem illogical but I still need clarification.
Can we debug kernel modules loaded on my target system using kdb / kgdb without using any other system or remote debugging?
In other words my question is can we use kdb/kgdb to debug kernel modules running on same system? (2 Replies)
Hi everyone,
I am trying to prevent the ehci_hcd kernel module to load at boot time.

modinfo
modinfo(8) System Manager's Manual modinfo(8)NAME
modinfo -- program to show information about a Linux Kernel module
SYNOPSIS
modinfo [-0] [-F field] [-k kernel] [modulename|filename ...]
modinfo -V
modinfo -h
DESCRIPTION
modinfo extracts information from the Linux Kernel modules given on the command line. If the module name is not a filename, then the
/lib/modules/version directory is searched, as is also done by modprobe(8) when loading kernel modules.
modinfo by default lists each attribute of the module in form fieldname : value, for easy reading. The filename is listed the same way
(although it's not really an attribute).
This version of modinfo can understand modules of any Linux Kernel architecture.
OPTIONS -V --version
Print the modinfo version.
-F --field
Only print this field value, one per line. This is most useful for scripts. Field names are case-insenitive. Common fields
(which may not be in every module) include author, description, license, parm, depends, and alias. There are often multiple
parm, alias and depends fields. The special field filename lists the filename of the module.
-k kernel Provide information about a kernel other than the running one. This is particularly useful for distributions needing to extract
information from a newly installed (but not yet running) set of kernel modules. For example, you wish to find which firmware
files are needed by various modules in a new kernel for which you must make an initrd/initramfs image prior to booting.
-0 --null Use the ASCII zero character to separate field values, instead of a new line. This is useful for scripts, since a new line can
theoretically appear inside a field.
-a -d -l -p -n
These are shortcuts for author, description, license. parm and filename respectively, to ease the transition from the old modu-
tils modinfo.
