#18 closed enhancement (fixed)

read() on /dev/kmem may fail, needs workaround

Description

On recent kernels, read() on /dev/kmem may fail, although mmap() will succeed. On older kernels, using mmap() may result in problems. The solution would be to try read() first, and fallback on mmap() if read() fails.
