Prevent a process from opening a file more than once
by Venkatram Tummala Sept. 28, 2011

Sept. 28, 2011

Hi All, I have a simple device driver which creates a /dev/XYZ file. I need to prevent a process from opening the file more than once. However, multiple processes can open the file simultaneously. Is there any any elegant way to do this other than checking all opened files in the process ?

Issue about setting interface flag on network device.
by 陳國成 Sept. 26, 2011

Sept. 26, 2011

Hi, I encounter a strange problem when using 2.6.30 kernel. There are two processes, one runs main1() and the other runs main2(). Two processes are running simultaneously on uni-processor system. Besides, eth0 is a proprietory ethernet driver. IFF_ALLMULTI can be set on eth0 successfully most of the time. The result looks like: main2: save_flags = 0x1043, flags = 0x1243 seldom, setting IFF_ALLMULTI on eth0 will not take effect and the result looks like: main2: save_flags = 0x1002, flags = 0x1043 main2: ret = 0 Please give me some suggestion about how to debug this issue. int ifUp(const char *ifName) { int sockfd = 0; struct ifreq ifr; int ret = 0; if (ifName == NULL) { ret = -1; } else { if ((sockfd = socket(AF_INET, SOCK_DGRAM, 0)) < 0) { ret = -1; } else { strncpy(ifr.ifr_name, ifName, IFNAMSIZ); ifr.ifr_flags = (IFF_UP | IFF_RUNNING | IFF_MULTICAST); if (ioctl(sockfd, SIOCSIFFLAGS, &ifr) < 0) { ret = -1; } close(sockfd); } } return ret; } short get_interface_flags(char *ifname) { struct ifreq ifr; int sockfd, err; sockfd = socket(PF_INET, SOCK_DGRAM, 0); if (sockfd <= 0) return -1; strncpy(ifr.ifr_name, ifname, IFNAMSIZ); err = ioctl(sockfd, SIOCGIFFLAGS, (void*)&ifr); close(sockfd); if (err != 0) return -1; return ifr.ifr_flags; } short set_interface_flags(char *ifname, short flags) { struct ifreq ifr; int sockfd, err; sockfd = socket(PF_INET, SOCK_DGRAM, 0); if (sockfd <= 0) return -1; strncpy(ifr.ifr_name, ifname, IFNAMSIZ); ifr.ifr_flags = flags; err = ioctl(sockfd, SIOCSIFFLAGS, (void*)&ifr); close(sockfd); if (err != 0) return -1; return 0; } int main1() { ifUp("eth0"); } int main2() { short flags, save_flags; short ret; /* Set the interface flags to receive all multicast packets */ save_flags = get_interface_flags("eth0"); if (save_flags != -1) { ret = set_interface_flags("eth0", save_flags | IFF_ALLMULTI); flags = get_interface_flags("eth0"); printf("%s: save_flags = 0x%x, flags = 0x%x\n", __FUNCTION__, save_flags, flags); if (((flags & IFF_ALLMULTI) != IFF_ALLMULTI)) { printf("%s: ret = %d\n", __FUNCTION__, ret); } } } Thanks & Regards, GC

Including library in the Linux open source
by Sahana B Adiga - ERS, HCL Tech Sept. 26, 2011

Sept. 26, 2011

Hi All, For a new storage hardware we have a Linux device driver that uses a custom library for hardware interface. This h/w interface library is an intellectual property. We want to share the Linux device driver source code, but not the library source code. 1) Is it possible to add to the Linux open source, such a driver along with the hardware interface library as a blob? Will the Linux kernel community accepts/approves it? 2) If so, what is the procedure involved? 3) Are there any additional documentation or any extra steps required than the normal way of submitting device drivers to Linux kernel community?

Automatic module insert in boot time
by Yacob Hassidim Sept. 26, 2011

Sept. 26, 2011

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hello everyone, I ask for help to insert/install module automatically in boot time. I use Ubuntu 11.04. I try to insert a module automatically in boot time. I added the name of my module (hello) to the file /etc/modules. I copied the the file hello.ko to the following directories: - /lib/modules/2.6.38-8-generic/kernel - /lib/modules/2.6.38-8-generic/kernel/drivers - /lib/modules/2.6.38-8-generic/kernel/drivers/hello The hello module prints (printk) message to kern.log and responds to open/read/write/ioctl and close functions. I don't see the init log messages in the kern.log file. While I use "insmod hello.ko" command, the command succeeds and I see the log messages. Can anyone help me why the automatically insertion of the module does not succeed? Thank you. Yacob.
