hi all ,
i was just trying to overflow the kernel stack of a
process , so i tried to initialize a large arraay in
init function of a module , and i got two different
behaviours for two different sizes :
1. char array[ 8 * 1024 ] = {0} - machine freezes ,
when i insmod the module . ultimately i have to press
reset .
2. char array[ 7 * 1024 ] = {0} - machine reboots ,
everytime i insmod the module .
i am not understanding the reason difference in the
behaviours . plz explain the cause of two different
behaviours .
thanx
rgds ,
pankaj chauhan
