Thanks for your reply. But more details are appreciated. Actually I checked linkage.h before I sent last email. Looks like "fastcall" is used to direct the compiler to put the first 3 parameters into registers instead of stack. But I just don't understand why that causes "general protection fault".
I am writing a new file system on Linux platform. So I thought this is the right email list where I can discuss Linux kernel developing questions. Is this email list only used to post patches and report bugs? If so, I will stay away. -x On 1/24/07, Oleg Verych <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
