Hello

I'm debugging my kernel module, which appears to have a memory corruption, 
basically a piece of memory allocated by alloc_netdev() for 'net_device' 
instance has benn corrupted. I'm wondering if I could apply some "read-only" 
attribute on this memory, this way I expect to have Oops generated when 
someone tries to modify the memory.

Does it sound reasonable or my ideas are undoable ?
Thanks.

Mark
