You don't. The array is private to the kernel. There is no KPI provided for this. I'm unable to use v_op, I've tried to find a "general" function for `getxattr()'. After a bit of exploration, I've found : `vn_getxattr()' which seems the right thing to use. This is how I've vn_getxattr is not KPI. = Mike _______________________________________________ Do not post admin requests to the list. They will be ignored.

I'd like to use the `getxattr()' function within a kernel extension. As As a general rule, if you think you want to initiate operations on files, file attributes, pathnames etc. from the kernel you have made a design error and need to stop and re-evaluate what you are doing. In almost every case, what you are trying to do should be handled in user space. This email sent to site_archiver(a)lists.apple.com

site_archiver(a)lists.apple.com Delivered-To: darwin-dev(a)lists.apple.com Naturally, it looks like I jumped the gun. I only had one more recursive call that had to be changed. Looks like it's working now. Still, it would be nice to know if there is anything besides a stack overflow that would cause an MCE from code.

Causes of a Machine Check Exception

site_archiver(a)lists.apple.com Delivered-To: darwin-dev(a)lists.apple.com Howdy kernel folk, I'm working on a kext and have managed to code myself into causing a Machine Check Exception. Fun. :-) Stack traces are meaningless so I am trying to work out the possible causes of an MCE from my code. I'm pretty certain at one cause of an MCE is stack overflow. That's the first place I am looking. I have some code that is likely accidentally being called endlessly recursively (oops :-). (I fully understand the recursive problem, it's just a matter of finding the offending callers.) What are the other potential causes of an MCE? (Note: this is _not_ a hardware problem. My code is clearly causing the problem.) Thanks for the tips, ...Duane _______________________________________________ Do not post admin requests to the list. They will be ignored.
