Almost always a bad idea. Among other problems: * it ties your kernel module down to a particular file location. * you end up tightly binding your kernel module and the file format * the kernel namespace is not uniform and flat (given unionfs, bind mount and chroot); a path name has no real guaranteed meaning! The correct way to do it if you have to is pass the information down through some other channel. If you need a file handle for I/O then pass the file handle, not the name. - : send the line "unsubscribe linux-net" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
