I don't want to affect filesystems. only a simple binary channel, privately used. I guess it is either Netlink or Connector or Ioctls. what do you say ? Thanks, jakko.
I believe the iSCSI project went the netlink route over a year ago. I think it is working fine for them, but you might want to ask on the linux-scsi list. If you want to get your code into the vanilla kernel I would stay away from ioctls. There is a lot of resistence to them. A lot of it is due to the difficulty of supporting variuos CPU architectures via ioctl.
