Hi,

I tried to call the following code in a kernel module:

        error = do_path_lookup(AT_FDCWD, "/etc/profile.d/glib2.csh",
LOOKUP_PARENT, &nd);

I exported the function do_path_lookup() using
"EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL(do_path_lookup);"

But do_path_lookup() caused the "general protection fault: 0000 [#1]"
kernel error.

I thought it could be the problem of protection error, so I used the
following codes to enclose the code that calls do_path_lookup(), but
still got the same error.

        fs = get_fs ();                                                   /* 
save previous value */
        set_fs (KERNEL_DS);                                               /* 
use kernel limit */
       ......
       set_fs(fs);

Any idea on this?

Thanks a lot!
