I'm trying to wrap the SG_IO ioctl call (i.e. trap it in the kernel) and have that dump the data from (struct sg_io_hdr).dxferp. Having issues with doing the kernel trap in the newer kernel versions though (trying on 2.6.30). The syscall table is now read-only but for some reason my set_memory_rw() call is failing... Any ideas how to do this properly? Here are the relevant bits of code: unsigned long **find_sys_call_table(void) { unsigned long **sctable; unsigned long ptr; sctable = NULL; for (ptr = (unsigned long)&unlock_kernel; ptr < (unsigned long)&loops_per_jiffy; ptr += sizeof(void *)) { unsigned long *p; p = (unsigned long *)ptr; if (p[__NR_close] == (unsigned long) sys_close) { sctable = (unsigned long **)p; return &sctable[0]; } } return NULL; } static int __init scsisniff_init_module(void) { if ( (sys_call_table = find_sys_call_table()) ) { real_ioctl = (int(*)(unsigned int fd, unsigned int cmd, unsigned long arg))sys_call_table[__NR_ioctl]; if ( set_memory_rw( (unsigned long)sys_call_table[__NR_ioctl], 1 ) ) printk( "set_memory_rw: succeeded\n" ); else { printk( "set_memory_rw: failed!\n" ); return -1; } sys_call_table[__NR_ioctl] = (unsigned long)my_ioctl; } else { return -1; } return 0; } This gives me a lovely OOPS: [ 71.143742] WARNING: at arch/x86/mm/pageattr.c:833 change_page_attr_set_clr+0x1a0/0x400() [ 71.143745] Modules linked in: scsi_sniff(+) i915 binfmt_misc drm i2c_algo_bit bridge stp bnep lp snd_hda_codec_analog snd_hda_intel snd_hda_codec snd_hwdep snd_pcm_oss snd_mixer_oss snd_pcm snd_seq_dummy snd_seq_oss snd_seq_midi snd_rawmidi snd_seq_midi_event snd_seq snd_timer snd_seq_device video snd psmouse tpm_infineon tpm ppdev soundcore serio_raw pcspkr intel_agp tpm_bios output heci(C) iTCO_wdt iTCO_vendor_support parport_pc parport snd_page_alloc floppy usbhid usb_storage e1000e [ 71.143768] Pid: 3378, comm: insmod Tainted: G C 2.6.30.4custom-1.0 #6 [ 71.143769] Call Trace: [ 71.143773] [<ffffffff802da6d5>] ? __vunmap+0xc5/0x110 [ 71.143775] [<ffffffff80235200>] ? change_page_attr_set_clr+0x1a0/0x400 [ 71.143778] [<ffffffff8024edf8>] warn_slowpath_common+0x78/0xd0 [ 71.143780] [<ffffffff8024ee5f>] warn_slowpath_null+0xf/0x20 [ 71.143783] [<ffffffff80235200>] change_page_attr_set_clr+0x1a0/0x400 [ 71.143785] [<ffffffffa0274050>] ? my_ioctl+0x0/0x120 [scsi_sniff] [ 71.143789] [<ffffffff802a6dcd>] ? marker_update_probe_range+0x1dd/0x2d0 [ 71.143791] [<ffffffffa0277000>] ? scsisniff_init_module+0x0/0xf4 [scsi_sniff] [ 71.143793] [<ffffffff80235b9a>] set_memory_rw+0x2a/0x30 [ 71.143796] [<ffffffff802ff000>] ? sys_fcntl+0x180/0x420 [ 71.143798] [<ffffffffa02770bb>] scsisniff_init_module+0xbb/0xf4 [scsi_sniff] [ 71.143801] [<ffffffff8020a04c>] do_one_initcall+0x3c/0x180 [ 71.143804] [<ffffffff8026b7f3>] ? __blocking_notifier_call_chain+0x63/0x80 [ 71.143807] [<ffffffff8027dc0d>] sys_init_module+0xad/0x200 [ 71.143810] [<ffffffff80210fc2>] system_call_fastpath+0x16/0x1b [ 71.143812] ---[ end trace 5b3efe312296b587 ]--- [ 71.143958] set_memory_rw: failed! -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-c-programming" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
