Hello, Within your kernel module you can store a value inside file->private_data pointer. Konstantyn -----Original Message----- From: kernelnewbies-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:kernelnewbies-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Can Sar Sent: Tuesday, January 11, 2005 2:02 AM To: kernelnewbies@xxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: Adding to struct file Hi, I need to keep some information (just a number) for every open file in the system and thought that this could be most easily done by adding an integer field to the end of struct file. However, when doing this, I get all kinds of weird bugs with modules and then the kernel dies. Any suggestions to why this could be happening? I've had this problem in the past when adding things to structs, and I always add it to the end. I would be glad about anything you could think of.
