Hey everyone, Hopefully, this is not off-topic for this mailing list. I want to develop a kernel module that will be used to account for the input/output of files on the system and was wondering about doing it by intercepting the open() / read() / write() system calls with their size attributes and using that as a counter. (Later on, I wish to attach to a specific pid or account for all i/o for a specific user but that's later). I've been going over several Linux Kernel programming books among them TLDP's Linux kernel programming where the author mention that using the method of catching the original syscall table to do some stuff and then returning the original syscall again to the kernel is a bad habit, moreover, it's not really supported in 2.6 So here comes my question - how do I go about doing that? Should I go with the intercepting thing or are there more elegant ways? Thanks in advance.
