Passing socket struct between kernel threads - module programming
I write kernel module with kernel threads using
linux/kthread.h on 2.6.* kernel
I tried to passing data between two kernel threads
with data argument of kthread_run( fun, data , NAME );
but this is not work I dont know why. I tried many possibility
and nothing works.
So I thought that maybe something like this will work
but not.
Iam sure that fun1 thread was executed before fun2, I used semaphores ( actually completion mechanism ).
Hi everyone,
I am trying to prevent the ehci_hcd kernel module to load at boot time.
Here's what I've tried so far:
1) Add the following line to /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf (as suggested here):
2) Blacklisted the module by adding the following string to
3) Tried to blacklist the module... (0 Replies)
Hi all!
I am trying to register a device in an existing device class, but I am
having trouble getting the pointer to an existing class.
I can create a class in a module, get the pointer to it and then use
it to register the device with:
*cl = class_create(THIS_MODULE, className);... (0 Replies)
hi there
so, i was given an assignment: implement a linux system call that blocks all packets that are sent to a given IP (i have to do it without using iptables)
i'm really new to kernel programming btw (and i'm enjoying it a lot)
so, my syscall is called ip_block() and receives a... (1 Reply)
Hi,
1)i wrote a program which acts lik a client gateway serving clients request and sending probe msg`s to server to chech if its active..
2)both moduels interact when run independently my problem is that when i tr to run them as two different threads in a single program(client_gateway prog to... (4 Replies)
Hi, i'm trying to copy a struct into a binary file using the unix instruction write, so i declare and fill the struct "superbloque" in one function "initSB" and then i pass the pointer to another function called bwrite (for block write) which calls write. The problem is that i call the function... (2 Replies)
EDIT: Nevermind, called a friend who is good at this stuff and he figured it out :D
Hi all,
So I'm trying to teach myself to write programs for unix in c. I am currently creating a program, and I need to pass a struct through a pipe, but I can't figure out how.
The struct I want to pass... (0 Replies)
hi masters,
I am new to kernel programming and learning its trade. I am writing a module for lan bandwidth manager. I designed one module successfully for 2.4 kernel . But when I tried to upgrade it for 2.6 kernel I found that struct tq_struct is missing . Is there any suitable replacement for... (0 Replies)
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,
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 Everyone!
How can we make a socket() system call from a linux module executing in kernel space?
If any one knows, kindly tell me. It will be great.
I want to use the socket interface in linux kernel space for sending raw packets over the network.

thread(9s)thread(9s)NAME
thread - General: Contains kernel threads-related information
SYNOPSIS ----------------------------
Member Name Data Type
----------------------------
wait_result kern_return_t
----------------------------
MEMBERS
Specifies the outcome of the wait. The kernel can set this member to one of the following values: THREAD_AWAKENED, THREAD_INTERRUPTED,
THREAD_TIMED_OUT, THREAD_SHOULD_TERMINATE, and THREAD_RESTART.
DESCRIPTION
The thread data structure contains kernel threads-related information. Kernel modules typically use the wait_result member (with the cur-
rent_thread routine) to check for the result of the wait. The values associated with the wait_result member have the following meanings:
The result of the assert wait is a normal wakeup. The wait condition was interrupted by the clear_wait routine. The specified timeout has
expired. The result of the assert wait is that the current kernel thread should terminate. The current kernel thread should be restarted.
NOTES
The header file <thread.h> shows a typedef statement that assigns the alternate name thread_t for a pointer to the thread data structure.
Many of the kernel threads-related routines operate on these pointers to thread data structures.
The thread data structure is an opaque data structure; that is, all of its associated members (except for the wait_result member) are ref-
erenced and manipulated by the operating system and not by the user of kernel threads.
