Hi, This is the code where i am getting this problem. static byte4 VNICClientStart(unsigned long arg) { VNICClientCfgCreateInfo_t clientConfig; struct socket *sock = NULL; ubyte4 status = 0; ubyte4 retryCnt = VNIC_CLIENT_MAX_CONN_RETRY_CNT; ubyte4 ret = 0; byte4 len = 0; struct net_device *dev = NULL; VNICConnMap_t *connMap = NULL; byte4 error = 0; VNICHdrForm_t vnicHdr; VNICVirtMirrIfaceAndServIPList_t *ifaceIPNode = NULL; DECLARE_WAIT_QUEUE_HEAD(wq); init_waitqueue_head(&wq); EnterFunction("VNICClientStart");
memset(&vnicHdr, 0, sizeof(vnicHdr)); while (retryCnt) { --retryCnt; if (!retryCnt) { return VNIC_CLIENT_SERVER_RESPONSE_TIMEOUT; } /* wait for small */ interruptible_sleep_on_timeout(&wq, 2); } /* end while (retryCnt)*/ LeaveFunction("VNICClientStart"); return VNIC_CLIENT_SERVER_SUCCESS; /* for success */ } /* end VNICClientStart() */ I commneted out all the other functionalities of this function to make it simple but still it is getting kernel panic. This function gets called when i invoke ioctl() from my user application and gets kernel panic.
