I'd think you'd have to cast the struct pointers to unsigned long or something. I'm not sure also what the printk tells us. > + atomic_set(&msg->used, 0); > +} regards, dan carpenter _______________________________________________ devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://driverdev.linuxdriverproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
