Why are you deleting perror() and add a printf() for the error message perror()
printf()?
Why not collapse these messages into one and use strerror() to include the
error string?

Not necessarily. open(0 could fail due to insufficient permissions. That is why
using strerror() or perror() is the correct way so the real error message gets
printed.

Might not be the real reason why the opeN() failed.

The return should be KSFT_SKIP instead of 1
