This is Task 06 of the Eudyptula Challenge ------------------------------------------ Nice job with the module loading macros. Those are tricky, but a very valuable skill to know about, especially when running across them in real kernel code. Speaking of real kernel code, let's write some! The tasks this time are: - Take the kernel module you wrote for task 01, and modify it to be a misc char device driver. The misc interface is a very simple way to be able to create a character device, without having to worry about all of the sysfs and character device registration mess. And what a mess it is, so stick to the simple interfaces wherever possible. - The misc device should be created with a dynamic minor number, no need running off and trying to reserve a real minor number for your test module, that would be crazy. - The misc device should implement the read and write functions. - The misc device node should show up in /dev/eudyptula. - When the character device node is read from, your assigned id is returned to the caller. - When the character device node is written to, the data sent to the kernel needs to be checked. If it matches your assigned id, then return a correct write return value. If the value does not match your assigned id, return the "invalid value" error value. - The misc device should be registered when your module is loaded, and unregistered when it is unloaded. - Provide some "proof" this all works properly. As you will be putting your id into the kernel module, of course you haven't forgotten it, but just to be safe, it's "[redacted]".
