Thank you, I will look into those. > > but sorry, why "proc-variable" need bh-kind of lock? When reading/writing to a proc-variable, a softirq is triggered. And since the read/write-functions of my proc variable is accsessing a shared value, I need to have locks that disable softirqs for the time being. -Kristian -- To unsubscribe from this list: send an email with "unsubscribe kernelnewbies" to [email protected] Please read the FAQ at http://kernelnewbies.org/FAQ
