Hello,
How can I access the filesystem from a kernel module ?
In fact, I want my device driver to retreive a firmware image
stored on the
filesystem (instead of putting the firmware data in a static array at
compile-time) for memory usage and legal concerns. Blocking calls
are OK.
I have searched the manpages and the web, but I haven't found anything
relevant.
Thanks,
Sebastien
You can use vn_open() to open the file, and then read it using vn_rdwr
(), and finally, vn_close() to close it. Look at src/sys/kern/
link_elf_obj.c for an example.
