Re: Difference between process & kernel module

IIUC a kernel module uses the kernel's stack and heap.  And because of
this modules which use a lot of stack space can cause some serious
problems.



Does Linux provide a mecanism to panic in case of stack or heap overflow ?
If I run Linux in an emulator, is there a thing I could trace to detect such problem ?


Thanks
