hi, i'm trying to create a procfs entry with the create_proc_entry function in a netfilter hook (kernel 2.6.12), but i've got: Debug: sleeping function called from invalid context at mm/slab.c:2093 kernel: in_atomic():1, irqs_disabled():0 kernel: [__kmalloc+142/144] __kmalloc+0x8e/0x90 [...] because create_proc_entry invokes kmalloc with GFP_KERNEL i need to create these entries without sleeping, GFP_ATOMIC, because in netfilter hooks is not allowed to sleep. any suggestion on how to do that? thanks in advance, topi -- topi <topi@xxxxxxxxxxxx> -- Kernelnewbies: Help each other learn about the Linux kernel.
