I am using Fedora Linux 2.6.18. I have updated file ~/linux- 2.6.18.2/net/ipv6/tcp_ipv6.c file.
I am working on a project  and at first stage, I need to write the ipsec decrypted packets to disk.
For this reason, I have embeded the following code in "tcp_v6_rcv" function.
    file_desc = open('/testlog.txt',O_WRONLY|O_APPEND);
    file_write_status = write(file_desc,skb->data,skb->len);   
    close(file_desc);

When I compiling the kernel, I received the following warnings and errors

Any one has any idea about it to solve the warnings.

You are not allowed to make system calls in the kernel mode.
