There is a problem with exception handling for modules ... I'm working on a patch now. -----Original Message----- From: Bill Nottingham [mailto:notting@redhat.com] Sent: Wednesday, May 23, 2001 11:57 AM To: linux-ia64@linuxia64.org Subject: [Linux-ia64] problems with ppp/pppd: put_user/copy_to_user We've got a report of ppp not working; what happens is that it puts in the log: Couldn't get channel number: bad address when it sends the PPPIOCGCHAN ioctl. However, if we replace the calls to put_user for PPPIOCGCHAN & PPPIOCGFLAGS ioctls with copy_to_user, it works fine. Shouldn't this not make any difference?
