Subject: how to communicate between kernel and user space?
Date: Thu, 29 Nov 2001 17:27:49 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <F56sjUHQHh2wLCVYl4m0000010f@hotmail.com> (raw)

Hi,

I am sorry if this is a newbie's question. I am developing a kernel module 
which needs to call some crypt functions implemented in user space. Since 
those functions utilize openssl library, I assume there is no easy way to 
port them into kernel.

I wonder whether there is an easy and elegant way to call the user space 
functions from the kernel and get the results, if /proc can not be used.  If 
anybody knows where I can find a crypt library in the kernel, that will be a 
great help too.

Thank you very much.

Xiaozhou Qiu
