i know how to write a character device driver but the same will not work for
simple file why? that mean if i create a file /root/myfile and want to write
and read to it periodically from a kernel module it is not working cause i am doing

.....fragment of my code.........
static struct file_operations myfile_file_operations = {
open: myfile_open,
release: myfile_release,
read: myfile_read,
write: myfile_write,

int init_module(void)
{
{
printk("Loading myfile Module\n");
ent = filp_open("/root/myfile", O_RDWR,S_IRUSR | S_IWUSR);
if ( ent == NULL)
printk(KERN_DEBUG, "Error opening file...\n");
return 0;
}
if ( ent == NULL)

return 0;
}
void cleanup_module(void)

filp_close(ent,NULL);
}
}
int myfile_open(struct inode *inodep, struct file *filp)
{
printk("Opening a file....\n");
MOD_INC_USE_COUNT;

MOD_INC_USE_COUNT;

return 0;
}
{

return 0;
}
I want whenever module is loaded it should create a file and when it unloaded should
remove file. but above code is fail to create a file and also causing problem in unloading
a module with warning for arg 1 parameter of flip_close.

help to write a module to read/write a normal file from kernel module.
