MODULE_EXIT(9) Driver Basics MODULE_EXIT(9)NAME
module_exit - driver exit entry point
SYNOPSIS
module_exit(x);
ARGUMENTS
x
function to be run when driver is removed
DESCRIPTION
module_exit will wrap the driver clean-up code with cleanup_module when used with rmmod when the driver is a module. If the driver is
statically compiled into the kernel, module_exit has no effect. There can only be one per module.

cfgmgr_get_state - General: Determines the configuration state
SYNOPSIS
int cfgmgr_get_state(
char *driver_name,
int *driver_cfg_state );
ARGUMENTS
Specifies the name of the device driver whose configuration state you want to obtain. This name is a string that matches the string you
specified for the entry_name item in the /etc/sysconfigtab database. Typically, third-party driver writers specify the driver name (fol-
lowed by a colon) in the sysconfigtab file fragment, which gets appended to the /etc/sysconfigtab database during the driver product
installation. Returns one of the following state value bits to the driver_cfg_state argument: The specified device driver is in the
dynamic configuration state. This means the driver was dynamically configured into the kernel. The specified device driver is in the
static configuration state. This means the driver was statically configured into the kernel.
DESCRIPTION
The cfgmgr_get_state routine obtains the configuration state of the specified device driver. The specified device driver is in either the
static configuration state or the dynamic configuration state.
The cfgmgr_get_state routine returns the state value in the driver_cfg_state argument. Driver writers should store this state value in an
xx_is_dynamic variable or some similarly named variable.
You typically call the cfgmgr_get_state routine in the CFG_OP_CONFIGURE entry point of the device driver's configure routine.
RETURN VALUES
Upon successful completion, cfgmgr_get_state returns the value ESUCCESS. This success value indicates that cfgmgr_get_state returned the
configuration state of the specified device driver in the driver_cfg_state argument. Otherwise, cfgmgr_get_state returns one of the follow-
ing error constants defined in /usr/sys/include/sys/sysconfig.h and /usr/sys/include/sys/errno.h: The device driver that you specified in
the driver_name argument does not exist. In this case, cfgmgr_get_state cannot return the configuration state of the specified device
driver in the driver_cfg_state argument. The device driver that you specified in the driver_name argument is not a valid name.
EXAMPLES
See Writing Device Drivers: Tutorial for a code example of the cfgmgr_get_state interface.

hi,
one of our customer is facing an issue with jiffies wrap up.
on a 32 bit machine, the variable jiffies count upto 472 days.

Hi There,
I want to make sure that kmem_cache_alloc is not called concurrently with kmem_cache_destroy on module exit and I want be able to use GFP_KERNEL for the kmem_cache_alloc calls.
Would a read/write lock be good fro this purpose or is there another method I should be using?

Hello,
I have develop a driver for my hardware and now, I need to handle a IRQ but I does not work.
As I can understand, to handle a irq, it is necessary to make a request_irq(). If the return value is zero, ok, no problem to handle irq.
Here is a easy example of my driver:

Hi,
I found on linuxgazette.net/93/bhaskaran.html page very useful sample of virtual driver (not connected to real hardware).

Hey,
I'm currently getting into some kernel module progamming. As a little exercise I want to read the headers out of an ELF file. My code is very simple, here is the important part:

Hi I actually wrote a simple module and I need to call a bin file from that module. Could you give me some hints how to do that?
(I tried with stdlib.h and 'system()', but cannot call that function from a module).

cannot generate .ko file on my linux, although it can generate module.symvers.
But when I copy .c file and Makefile to another linux computer, there's no problem.
The strange thing is: make is successfuly executed, and returned 0;
