Hello all :) I am coding a kernel module with multiple threads. Those threads happen to allocate memory -with a simple kmalloc()- to store dynamically structures to the module. Those data need to remain in memory until the modul is unloaded. (I list-link them to keep track) The problem I encounter is that when a thread terminates after allocating memory in that way, my kernel crashes. I can see from the logs: "kernel BUG at slab.c:1582!" which is kfree() Am I doing something very stupid? I guess that every allocation by kmalloc() must be kfreed from the same process (thread), then what should I do in my case? No need to mention that I'm a total newcomer in kernel land, so any help is greatly appraciated. -Thanks- Cheers, Sébastien... -- There are only 10 types of people in the world: Those who understand binary and those who don't. -- Kernelnewbies: Help each other learn about the Linux kernel.
