[PROBLEM] sleeping function called from invalid context at mm/slab.c

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hello!

I'm new to kernel programming and I try to develop a fake ethernet driver for
v2.6.21.3 which I really need based on netdev but I ran into the following
issue:
If the kernel calls the 'dev->hard_start_xmit' function of my driver then this
calls another one which try to create a socket in the following "normal way":

struct socket *ssock = NULL;
...
sock_create(family, SOCK_STREAM, IPPROTO_TCP, &ssock);

But at this point I get an error message from the kernel as appended below.
So what have I done wrong?

Regards and many thanks for any help!
Lukas
