Content-Type: text/plain; charset=iso-8859-2 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: linux-kernel-owner@vger.kernel.org X-Mailing-List: linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org Hi ! The environment I work in is: SGI ProPack v2.2 for Linux, Kernel 2.4.20-sgi220r3 on an ia64. When I intensively test my kernel module then more than 3100 entries in /proc filesytem are created. When such number of entries is attained then, even though create_proc_entry() and proc_mkdir() functions end with success, the new files or directories don't appear in /proc filesystm. What is going wrong? Is there a limit on the amount of entries in /proc filesystem? If yes, why the create_proc_entry() and proc_mkdir() functions do not return NULL pointers? As I'm not subscribed on this list, please set CC field in reply mail on gracjan@man.poznan.pl Thanks in advance. Gracjan Jankowski
