hi all,
i am using linux 2.4.20 ( in RH 9 ).
i have a problem in using slab cache , the story goes
like this :
1. i have a structure record of 24 bytes, say :
struct record {
some feilds ( total 24 bytes)
}
2. i create a slab cache for this record , say
record_cache by using :
kmem_cache_t *record_cache;
record_cache = kmem_cache_create("record_cache",
sizeof(struct record) , 0 ,
SLAB_HWCACHE_ALIGN , NULL,NULL);
3.i allocate a new object from the cache :
new_rec =
( struct record *)kmem_cache_alloc(record_cache,
SLAB_KERNEL);
HERE the system freezes and i get some messages on
console some of them are :
***
[<c020b490>] ip_rcv_finish [kernel]
<0> kernel panic : Aii killing interrupt handler
In interrupt handler not syncing
***
all these operations i am doing in a routine
registered at NF_IP_PRE_ROUTING hook of netfilter
frame work of linux .
plz tell me where i am wrong .
thanx in advance .
Rgds,
Pankaj cahuhan
