Hi Jan, Well can you put some light why this code is not good. I know that using the top most level functions of any system call in kernel (like sys_open, sys_close, any function whcih starts with "sys_") will put alot of extra overload and might not be the optimum way to do things in kernel, but i think functionality wise it will be same, as these function handle all the senarios need to be handled. I think its the easiest and safest way but definitely not the optimum way, so we shud not use such things in production code, but they can be used for experimental or learning codes. Linux_Lover, If you want to use the same code as that of Srinivas, you need to export the symbols explicitly in kern using EXPORT macro and then re-compile your kernel and boot the machine with new kernel OR do get the sources from kernel.org as i think these symbols are exported by default in those kernels. Yo need to compile this also and boot your machine with new kernel.
