Abstract: Example methods and systems are provided for a computer system to transfer runtime information between a first kernel module and a second kernel module. In one example, the method may comprise assigning ownership of a memory pool to the first kernel module; and the first kernel module accessing the memory pool to store runtime information associated with one or more operations performed by the first kernel module. The method may also comprise releasing ownership of the memory pool from the first kernel module while maintaining the runtime information in the memory pool; and assigning ownership of the memory pool to the second kernel module. The second kernel module may then access the memory pool to obtain the runtime information stored by the first kernel module.
