Hi...
I actually followed your direction and made the pointer static. But that did not
solve the problem which I think is expected if I am not wrong. Because even though
the klife pointer passed in klife_open is local, we save the pointer in
filp-private_data for any future access to that

Hi..
I made all my register functions inline and also replaced xchg with spin_lock and spin_unlock. But that did not help. I am having the same result.
Thank you for considering my suggestions. At least we are one step
closer to the solution. So it's not about being inlined or not nor
Hi

To clarify the confusion, I actually run a userspace program that calls the
module's open routine which registers the hook. So registration is
Hello...
Why is registering an empty function and calling it from inside do_timer
freezing the system after a short period of good run?
There are several suspects:
1. your code (call_timer_hook) is called while xtime_lock is held. it
could lead to lock contention.
2. you're running out of
Hi
Thanks for your reply. Regarding your suspects -
1. I am actually calling the register_timer_interrupt routine to register the
hook only once by running the userspace program once that registers the hook.
So there should not be any lock contention I think unless the lock is global in
the
