[lkcd-devel] Some issues found in the latest lkcdutils

[Feng, F. <fle...@in...>]

Hi, all

	I am still working on adding ARM/XScale support to crash dump
and lkcdutils. When working on this, found some issues in the lkcdutils:
=09
1. netdump-server
  The latest dump-netdev will hang during netdump. The hang occurs when
the dump-netdev do a seek() with offset 0. The reason is in function
memory_packet of netdumpclient.c netdump-server can not correctly handle
this. In fact when it function find_outstanding is executed, if the
reply.code =3D=3D 0x0c, it incorrectly treat reply.nr as a request =
number.
But in fact when the reply.code =3D=3D 0x0c, it is a file offset that =
need
to be seeked. Mostly the total request number is not so big and is not
equal to file offset while when the file offset =3D=3D 0, things is a =
little
bit different. I have fixed this bug and please find the attached patch
file.
2. Module support
  In new 2.5 kernel, the module mechanism is not same as previous
module. While in kl_module file which provides the module support
library, it has not reflected this change. For example, in function
kl_get_module from kl_module.c, it still uses kernel symbol module_list
to get module information, while in the 2.5 kernel, this symbol
disappered. We need to use symbol like "symbols" and "modules" to get
module information and module symbol. I don't know if there is someone
who has already begun to work on this. If there is not, I can do that.
