copy_to_user set array at index

$
0
0

I am writing a character device driver, but at the moment it freezes, and i have to reboot to stop it or crashes and the terminal exitsI have a global array

char* array;

On which i use kmalloc(9, GFP_KERNEL) so it should be the size of 9. If i wanted to use file operations .write to set a specific index how would i do that?This is my current code (which crashes and terminal exits)

ssize_t mydriver_write(struct file *filp, const char* buf, size_t count, loff_t *f_pos){    raw_copy_to_user(array[*buf], 'x', 1);}

EDIT:I have already tried this version aswell

    raw_copy_to_user(&array[3], x, 1);

where x is kmalloc'd to size 1 and x[0]='x'But in this case my program freezes and i cannot remove the driver and the machine requires a reboot to remove it.
