Using files from kernel mode is policy, while the kernel should only implement mechanisms. Rethink your design so the file usage is done where it belongs: userland. This has the nice advantage that you can get the same information from weird locations like a remote SQL database by just rewriting the userland backend. There's no way to do this from kernel.
