Hi!

I am not sure whether my version works on smp. If it does not, maybe try something like this:

#include <linux/stop_machine.h>

int func(void *) {        while (1) {        }        return 0; }

int init_module(void) {        stop_machine(func, 0, 0);        return 0; }

I vote this....I was into the same situation years ago, when I inaccidentally do busy looping during kernel module load. -- regards, Mulyadi Santosa Freelance Linux trainer and consultant blog: the-hydra.blogspot.com training: mulyaditraining.blogspot.com
