| |
Hi, I developed a kernel module. Within that i am dynamically allocating memory(using kmalloc and vmalloc) for a buffer to read data. After that while trying to read into this buffer from the hard disk using sys_read i am getting an error. And the same error i am getting while writing into another buffer, which was allocated in the same way, using sys_write. The error number set is -14(EFAULT) i.e., Bad address.
Give me any idea to resolve the problem.
If anyone help me i am gretful to them.
Thanks & Regards
