Hi SP, For a given kernel (at least in your case "sys_call_table_Rdfdb18bd" is same as "sys_call_table". "Rdfdb18bd" is the versioning information, which is calculated for each symbol when we export it using EXPORT_SYMBOL macro. If we didn't want the versioning info to be appended to symbol we can use EXPORT_SYMBOL_NOVERS HTS, Aniruddha ------------------------------------- | Aniruddha S.

I invoke query_module function with name as NULL & the value of 'which' as QM_SYMBOLS, thus trying to get kernel symbols. query_module returns a pointer to symbol with name "sys_call_table_Rdfdb18bd". Is this the same as sys_call_table ? What is the number at the end of the symbol ? Thanks, SP __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!
