| |
I have developed a module allowing mapping in user space memory allocated in the kernel with vmalloc. This may be used for example for communication with real time kernel tasks.
The module is available on http://crds.chemie.unibas.ch/PCI-MIO-E/mbuff-0.6pre7.tar.gz
I would like to request a minor number for this device.
Major 10 (misc) \minor{to be assigned}{/dev/mbuff}{Allocate and mmap vmalloc'ed memory}
This is a character device driver, implementing mmap and 3 ioctl for allocation, query, and deallocation of memory blocks identified with names (max 32 bytes).
