What is the namespace for a file when it is created in the kernel? On page 211 in the 2nd edition of Linux Kernel Development it states: "Because each process inherits its parent's namespace (unless you specify otherwise), there is seemingly one global namespace." In my case I am creating the file in the kernel, using it in kernel, close it in the kernel and lastly I would like to delete it while in the kernel (unlink). Thanks!
