Is that all you need to do? Or this involves heavy data transfer? Also, do you need to define certain things when your kernel module is inited or you have to do this much later? IMHO, you can use module params while inserting kernel module and depending on them you can do certain initialization etc. If you need it later i.e. after kernel module has been insmoded and being used then I think you can use /proc interface. If it involved data transfer between kernel and userspace then probably you will need netlink sockets etc. Regards, Sandeep. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send an email with "unsubscribe kernelnewbies" to ecartis@xxxxxxxxxxxx Please read the FAQ at http://kernelnewbies.org/FAQ
