Hi,
Your guess was right ,thanks a ton again..yes
when i ran installation with kernel heap checking
enabled ,ran into a panic reporting
'redzone violation: write past end of buffer' ,and
this was for the 'scsi_pkt' structure during
scsi_hba_pkt_free()
Oddly (or maybe not considering 32/64-bit issues) this
problem does not happen with the normal 64bit driver
,only with 32 bit since thats what the installation
kernel is also running
In order to debug exactly where the error might be
happening i tried to insert the same few lines as in
kmem_free( which is called during scsi_hba_pkt_free)
at different points in my code where scsi_pkt is being
accessed
if (((uint8_t *)buf)[size] != KMEM_REDZONE_BYTE) {
/// LOG ERROR or panic here!
}
where buf-> scsi_pkt structure in my driver
size =scsi_pkt_wrapper_len
For some reason i found error right after
scsi_hba_pkt_alloc() was invoked in my
tran_init_pkt(),what does this mean ..how could that
happen ?? Is there something wrong with my
pkt_ha_private structure that is leading to this?
BTW i have installed the same OS on a local IDE hard
disk on the same hardware et al , so im guessing that
rules any h/w issues?
Thanks
