Hello, everybody,
I'm trying to develop a new Ethernet driver (Realtek) for Linux kernel 4.0.2.
[ 3.612938] r8169 Gigabit Ethernet driver 2.3LK-NAPI loaded
As part of my studies, I'm trying to trace the path for functions defined in drivers/net/ethernet/realtek/r8169.c, net/core/dev.c and net/core/dev_ioctl.c. I'm using "printks" for this purpose. For instance, something like:
printk("TEST: __dev_set_promiscuity\n");
However, I'm not getting what's going on. I can set/unset the promiscuity behaviour via ifconfig command.
[ 131.330091] device eth0 entered promiscuous mode
[ 170.619086] device eth0 left promiscuous mode
By looking at the dmesg output above, I thought the function that deals with promiscuity was __dev_set_promiscuity() defined in net/core/dev.c, because this function calls a function to print the message above:
pr_info("device %s %s promiscuous mode\n", dev->name, dev->flags & IFF_PROMISC ? "entered" : "left");
But, when I tried to look for my printk message with dmesg after compiling and running the kernel, I couldn't find it.
$ cd linux-4.0.2/
$ make net && make modules
$ sudo make modules_install && sudo make install
Can somebody help me to understand what's happening?
Thanks in advance,
