Hi,
I have a question about work queue.
I use queue_work() function in my TTY driver's write function (ch_tty_write()).
The TTY driver works fine,but when this driver is called from
ppp_write() function system would crash.
static int ch_tty_write(struct tty_struct *tty,
const unsigned char *buf, int count)
{
......
queue_work(xxx,xxxx);
return count;
}
I want to know which context can't use queue_work() function?
Put the crash message below.
Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 00000003Please check that you have properly called "INIT_WORK" and do pass any null pointers to either INIT_WORK or queue_work. If this does not help, please give us a pointer on where to get your kernel tree. -Michi -- programing a layer 3+4 network protocol for mesh networks see http://michaelblizek.twilightparadox.com
