Problem with set_fs function in linux 2.4 kernel module

[yura_lvk 0]

Hello!

 

I'm writing kernel module for embedded system working on Linux kernel 

2.4.xx.

CPU on the device is ARM926ejs. Communication with device - serial port 

(COM). Here is a code fragment:

 

if( sock->ops && sock->ops->ioctl ) {

   old_fs = get_fs();

   printk( KERN_ALERT "aaa\n" );

   set_fs( KERNEL_DS );

   printk( KERN_ALERT "bbb\n" );

   retval = sock->ops->ioctl( ... );

   set_fs( old_fs );

   ...

}

 

Module loads perfectly and works until the function "set_fs(KERNEL_DS)" 

is called. In HyperTerminal i see message "aaa", but cannot see "bbb". 

The behavior of device is strange: no kernel_panic, no error messages, 

nothing, it "dies" silently and absolutely till power switching. I 

suppose that the problem dialed with domain switching but cannot see 

where is error. I tried to write local_irq_disable()/local_irq_enable() 

around set_fs() - no effect. Does anybody know how to fix problem?

P.S. On x86 processors module works.
