Hi Folks,
I'm working on a small geom filter where I need to open a file with
vn_open_cred, but this causes an assert because of a null pointer
because g_run_event proc structure has null pointer for the current

Hi Ali,
In general, it is not recommended to open a file from within the kernel,
due to a multitude of complications and difficulties.
The old thread here:

may provide you with some other options to do what you're doing, and
insight from a previous time when this sort of question came up.
