Hi, In my module I want to get the status of a file. One solution is to follow the implementation of sys_stat call and write my own routine. I tried calling sys_stat from my module, which gives me erronos values as output. ( The input to this call are user buffers ) I know making system calls from within the kernel is not healthy and if I want this functionality then I should duplicate the routine which would function somewhat like sys_Stat. But my question is if we discard the healthyness then is it not expected that if I make the sys_stat call explicitly from within the kernel then it MUST work as it is supposed to work. Isn't this true for all the system calls. Thanks Amit __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo!
