    [Ubuntu 16.04.03]general protection fault while running a pragram

    Hi all, I am hitting a panic in ubuntu system after running a specific daemon.


    I have inserted kernel module with character device registered.
    User space daemon is opening that character device.
    In open system call handling for that device, my module is saving
    struct *pid of current, i.e, user space daemon in variable in kernel.
    For that I am using "get_pid(task_pid(current))".


    As soon as this is executed, system crashes.
    Below is stack for the crash.

    Code:

    It can be seen from stack that "ps" process is tainting kernel. But I am not getting why this process is getting invoked.


    Any kind of help regarding this is appreciated.


    Thanks in advance.
