Subject: strange about copy_from_user
Date: Fri, 9 Jul 2004 14:38:26 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <c26fd828040709143843b3143f@mail.gmail.com> (raw)

Hi all,
I am working on writing a module driver.

I am trying to use API copy_from_user to copy a bunch of memory from
user space to kernel space. I write a ioctl function to register the
pointer of the memory to kernel. And in the ioctl function I can use
copy_from_user to get the correct data, but the strange thing is that
when I use copy_from_user in other kernel function such as
dev_hard_xmit function , I cannot
get the correct result. I don't konw what the reason is . Thx.
