Having only this struct describing an proc entry, i have no idea on how to detect when the file is closed. For this i expect to register a callback function but where and how?
struct proc_dir_entry {
unsigned int low_ino;
unsigned short namelen;
const char *name;
mode_t mode;
nlink_t nlink;
uid_t uid;
gid_t gid;
unsigned long size;
struct inode_operations * proc_iops;
struct file_operations * proc_fops;
get_info_t *get_info;
struct module *owner;
struct proc_dir_entry *next, *parent, *subdir;
void *data;
read_proc_t *read_proc;
write_proc_t *write_proc;
atomic_t count; /* use count */
int deleted; /* delete flag */
};
Thanks,
Matthias
