That will work just fine, and you can put your syscall function in a module, but you said you can't patch the main kernel, which you just did in order to add your syscall to the sys_call_table. So since you patched the kernel, you did not implement a "loadable" syscall. thanks, greg k-h - Kernelnewbies: Help each other learn about the Linux kernel.
