Hello evrybody, I wrote a kernel module and when was running it it is always crashing in a strange way. Can someone suggest what may be the reason. It is a module that attaches to the netfilter framework and does some processing on the packet it gets. The following is the kernel panic message I am getting on the screen pmd entry c57f2000: 000000000000000000 ... pmd not present ! Oops: 0002 CPU: 0 EIP: 0010:[<d0867422>] EFLAGS: 00010202 <........the register values............> Process swapper (pid: 0, stackpage=c026f000) Stack: <....list of numbers without any reference to specific functions....> Call Trace: [..value..] [..value..]... Code: 89 18 89 1d 14... Kernel panic: Aiee, killing interrupt handler! In interrupt handler - not syncing There may be more kernel messages above this - but the system hangs after printing this message on the screen - so I could not see them. Any fixes or suggestions about what might be wrong are welcome.
