Getting the nfs_fh of a specific file/dir from the kernel

["Menny Hamburger" <menny@exanet.com>]

Hi,

I have a piece of code in my 2.6 kernel that associates an ioctl
file_operation to nfs in file.c and dir.c.
This ioctl sends the nfs_fh to a userland application.
I have been trying to remove this ugly code by creating my own device
and implementing the ioctl but I keep getting junk instead.
Please tell me if I'm doing anything wrong here:

1) Define the I/O structure:
    struct nfs_getfh {
        int fd;
        struct nfs_fh *fh;
    };
2) Receive the  fd of the wanted file/dir.
3) inside the ioctl function:

    struct file *filp;
    struct dentry *dentp;
    struct inode *inop;
    struct nfs_getfh getfh;
    struct files_struct *files;
    struct nfs_getfh __user *user_getfh = (struct nfs_getfh __user *)
arg;

    files = current->files;
    if (files) {
        spin_lock(&files->file_lock);
        filp = fcheck(getfh.fd);
        if (filp) {
            dentp = dget(filp->f_dentry);
	if (dentp) {
	    inop = dentp->d_inode;
	    if (inop) {
	        getfh.fh = NFS_FH(inop);
	        if (getfh.fh) {
                        copy_to_user((void*) user_getfh->fh, getfh.fh,
getfh.fh->size + ((int) &((struct nfs_fh*)0)->data)))
                    }
                }
            }
        }
        spin_unlock(&files->file_lock);
     }

Best Regards,
Menny
