using arrays from user space

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

 



Hello all,
this is my very first message in this list, and I'm very, very newbie on linux kernel programming, I have a doubt, I need to modify a module to pass a great size array (about 600KB) in user space to kernel use-it, I think add more one IOCTL in his ioctl control of controled device passing the pointer as argument but I don't want to copy this array using copy_from_user() to kernel space because the size is too large, there's some way to convert the user-space array address to kernel-space address to use directly the original array ?


Thanks for all help
