your first problem is you only have a 1 char buffer, so until you fix that, the rest has no chance of working. >> bond_buffer = kmalloc(1, GFP_KERNEL); In 100% seriousness, you need to learn to program in user space before you delve into the kernel. The kernel is a very, very complex environment. Allocating a buffer of the right size is about as basic as it gets in the kernel. Stealing someone's analogy, it's like race car mechanics discussing the finer points of setting up the fuel injection system and you're asking "What is fuel injection anyway?" Or in school terms, the kernel is like graduate studies and you're asking freshman questions.
