No, that's not the goal, you are still describing the step.
What are you trying to achieve that you need to play with some random
userspace memory? Why can't you just let userspace mmap() your piece of
kernel memory through a device node?
Oh, and do NOT top post.

The goal is to pass the system call parameters in the a predefined location in the user process .The kernel thread will have to read and execute the particular system call . This will be faster than the normal system call mechanism but the trouble is Im not able to access the user process page directly by resetting mm or active_mm . The kernel mmap() implementation already exists but there were not much benefits.
