Hi all, I'm writing a kernel module, and am trying to implement some exception-handling mechanism so that the system won't oops/panic if my module does e.g. a NULL dereference. The (horribly hackish) way I'm doing this right now is registering a die_notifier which will set the 'panic_on_oops' variable to 0 if we detect that the current PID corresponds to my module. However, this is ugly for many reasons.
What would be the "standard" way of doing this? Is there something like Window's try/except blocks, where I can get back control of the execution flow, without having the process die? I'm aware of _ASM_EXTABLE, but I understand this only works for a single instruction and has other limitations. _______________________________________________ Kernelnewbies mailing list [email protected] https://lists.kernelnewbies.org/mailman/listinfo/kernelnewbies
