Hello,


i need to copy data from kernel space to user space. An ISR executed on 
CPU0 needs to perform get/put_user()-calls to transfer some data into 
user space, where the concerned process is executed on CPU1.
It is obvious that i must set up something before, because it doesn't 
work the usual way, put_user() returns -14 (-EFAULT) when called.
BTW, it works when both, ISR and process, are executed on the same CPU.

My system is a dual P3 at 933 Mhz and 1G of ram. Kernel version is 
2.4.9. It is compatible to Intel MP-Spec. 1.1. The chipset is 
ServerWorks CNB20LE (rev 05).

Does anyone have an idea?

Thank you,
Mark
