Hi,
does someone know how to create a socket in kernelspace and how to
handle connections to it? I want to create a socket in the PF_LOCAL
namespace called /tmp/guestsocket.
I know that I have to do this in a seperate kernel thread and I managed
to to create a kernel thread using kernel_thread.
All examples I could find were using the PF_INET namespace, but I want
to use the PF_LOCAL namespace. The problem I have is:
struct socket *guestsock;
error = sock_create(PF_UNIX, SOCK_DGRAM, 0, &guestsock);
if (error<0) {
perror("socket thread: can't create guest socket");
}
always gives:
socket thread: can't create guest socket: Operation not permitted
Kernel panic: Segfault with no mm
mfg,
Patrick "Petschge" Kilian
