Second problem might not have anything to do with my device
driver at all. It seems that applications on my laptop know longer
free memory they have allocated. I thought it was my module. I
check "free" for the memory available, "insmod" my module, check
"free" again, "rmmod" it. Each time the amount of free memory goes
down. Even when I remove the module. Then I found that all other
processes do this also, from ftp to ls or cd. Then I start getting
really bad segmentation errors in almost every process I try to run.
And at the top, they say, usually, "kernel BUG page_alloc.c line:xx".
I'm worried I've corrupted something or I don't know. I looked this
up in the source but I don't know why everything is triggering it.
Are there any known memory allocation or freeing problems with kernel
2.4.2?
