RE: Reading contents of a directory inside kernel

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Sorry, I missed mentioning the kernel version: 2.6.32.

What are the callers of vfs_readdir expected to do?

I cannot use the generic callback fillonedir/filldir since they are defined in readdir.c and not exported for others.
Should the caller implement his/her own filler function?

Also, struct linux_dirent is defined in readdir.c. How can callers use this defintion?
Should the caller define it in again his/her kernel module? 

Please let me know whether my understanding is correct.
