Howdy - I am having a bit of a problem with a kernel port I've been working on recently. Linux is up and running to the initial sh prompt, networking/ethernet works, and so on. When I try a mount(), I am getting a kernel page fault. Between a few hours worth of debugging and some Googling around, I believe I understand what is happening, ie when copy_mount_option is copying in from user space, it seems to be running off the end of the data segment (code was apparently written with the assumption that this is legal). I can think of several different solutions, but the question is this - is there some common, accepted practice solution to this particular problem? From searching the discussion groups, this class of problem seems to be a known issue, but the arguments pro/con about what to do about it never seem to converge :) So before tracking off into the wilderness on my own, I thought I might ask! Tnx Rick Spanbauer
