Hi, I have a simple question about kernel threads. Can they open and close files just like user level processes ? (by using sys_open()) etc. directly ? Are there any side issues that we need to be aware about when doing that ?
I have a userlevel library (that client programs will link with to get access to a kernel module) and there is a requirement that other kernel modules (using kernel threads) wants to use the same library to get access to other kernel module. So I am having to port the library to work in kernel space. (since the library opens and closes certain device drivers, I am wondering if that'll work seemlessly from kernel space)
Thanks in advance for your answers !
regards, Rajeev
