Re: proc_mkdir



-----------------------------------------------------------------------
static int
create_procfs_dir(struct proc_dir_entry *entry, const char *name,
                  struct proc_dir_entry *parent)
{
        entry = proc_mkdir(name, parent);
        if (entry == NULL) {
                /*Failed when creating file */
                printk(KERN_ALERT "Error while creating %s directory\n",
name);
                return -1;
        }
Print the value of variable entry in create_procfs_dir() in the
beginning and before return. You would understand. It is a problem
with your understanding of C pointers.
If you did not, change the create_procfs_dir() first param to struct
proc_dir_entry ** and pass the address of the variable.

All the best,
Om.
