Hello, I want to read file in kernel module. can anybody help me by giving code for that? Also whats suitable way to do that in kernel /proc or shared memory? what i want is to read and write a user file frequently. regards, linux_lover

Hi linux lover . Reading or wriring a file from kernel is possible . But its not recomended . Its better to communicate with the kernel module using Copyto_User() function or write to a /proc buffer . Still if you want to access
the file from the kernel . The only possible way is to access the file is to use the underlying functions to open , read & write . I dont exactly remembre the function names . But everything starts with file_XXX . Search for that in www.
