Hello Gaurav, Thanks for your prompt reply. Is there any inbuilt kernel mechanism like pipes etc.. to provide communication between to Modules(not two processes). I think if two modules are accessing the same data structure we need some sort of synchronization. what kind of synchronization shall i use . pls give a brief idea about it.

If you have two module and you want to make a communication between them, export few of the symbols of your modules so that they can be referred in your other modules and can make a communication thru it. Remember, symbols you exported will also be visible to all other modules, which might not be of yours, any other module can make use of it or can change it. Cheers !!
