The original oops says the problem was in strcmp. It | was a GPF, which suggests to me that one of the arguments is NULL. | Since ops->name is checked at the beginning of the function, the only | other possibility is that alg->ops->name is NULL. I added a bit of code | to check for this, and it turns out that one of the strings was indeed | NULL. I didn't know where to go from there in debugging, but I hope it | helps. | | Thanks, | | Thomas Tuttle |
thanks, i do know that problem is in strcmp, i just thought the reason of bug was a delayed procedure execution 'case of missing mutex unlock. Have to dig deeper ;)
