_What_ code duplication? Would that be
struct proc_dir_entry *pde = PDE(file->f_path.dentry->d_inode);
and calculation of pde->data currently done by proc_file_write()?
Pardon me, but that's hard to take seriously. As for the ->read() side,
most of those suckers end up switched to use of seq_read() and there's
not a lot of boilerplate code in the resulting variants...
