Are the devlopers of the device mapping code awair of how difficult they are making debugging of the code with kgdb? Doing object programing like style programming in C has a major downside. Code that manages the struct dm_table is in dm_table.c and thus code in dm_ioctl.c can mess with the structure. Unfortunately when useing kgdb on the code you can see the struct dm_table stuff via pointers becasue struct dm_table has been declared as an empty structure. It would be very helpfull for kgdb users if the declaration of dm_table was made in dm.h, at least for KGDB kernels, just to make the code easier to follow with kgdb. -piet -- dm-devel mailing list dm-devel@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/dm-devel
