Message-ID: <ed82fe3e0810201522g63649e97uf162e894a19de23a@mail.gmail.com> Date: Mon, 20 Oct 2008 17:22:53 -0500 From: "Timur Tabi" <timur@...escale.com> To: linux-kernel@...r.kernel.org Subject: call_usermodehelper_exec() hangs in call to queue_work() I'm updating my driver to use kobjects so that I can call uevents. I've never used any of these calls before, so I'm sure I'm doing something stupid, but I need help. I'm creating one kset and three kobjects. I call kobject_uevent after calling kobject_init_and_add(). The second time I call kobject_uevent(), the kernel hangs when call_usermodehelper_exec() calls queue_work(). I haven't been able to trace the code past that yet. Does anyone have any idea what I'm doing wrong? I'm hoping this is a common problem. -- Timur Tabi Linux kernel developer at Freescale -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@...r.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
