Re: Regarding enumerating Block devices registered in kernel mode

Thanks for replying Richard,

I need to access the blockdevice structure associated with each block device so that I can patch its block_device_operations to receive ioctls calls in my code. In my code I check for ioctls that I handle and pass it to the original ioctl handler if the ioctl is not understood by me.

I intend to patch these block_device structures during my module initialization hence I need to iterate all BD's available in the system at that point. Also need to keep track of new BD's appearing in the system so that I can patch them as soon as they are available.

Please don't do that. Such patching/hooking/etc...-games are doomed to failure. Thanks, //richard
