hi all,
I need a simple kernel<->user channel.
can usr/src/linux-2.6.17/Documentation/connector be useful? There are one example also with this dir. i think u will get what u want....
Thanks
Suman
should I use netlink for an arbitrary kernel module who need to communicate
with a user space program ?
or should I just use ioctl and forget about netlink ?
(I certainly do not wish to clutter /proc).
thanks a lot,
J
btw, about netlink:
I thought of using netlink but I'm not acquainted with networking code.
I found this article about it: http://www.linuxjournal.com/article/7356
but it is too old, the netlink API has already changed.
I even found a lwn article about extending netlink into connectors:
http://lwn.net/Articles/131802/ but it's not clear there what is the current
state of this mechanism.
