Hi All,<br><br><br>I had a module which used the path_lookup function to print the details of any file's inode. I now want to rewrite that module in order to show some juniors how to write some code in kernel.<br><br>I am using 3.4.6 kernel, I tried finding out path_lookup but google showed that it has been removed.<br>
<br>I tried the following code then which did not work<br><br>.<br>.<br>.<br>dentry = kern_path_create(AT_FDCWD, filename, &path, 1);<br><br>if (IS_ERR(dentry)) {<br> printk("Failed to obtain the dentry");<br>
return;<br> }<br><br>its not returning dentry<br><br>I again tried after seeing the implementation of vfs_stat function <br><br>user_path_at(AT_FDCWD, filename, lookup_flags, &path);<br><br>but this also fails.<br>
<br><br>I am using a proc interface to pass the filename, and copying the filename into a kernel buffer.<br><br>How can I get a copy of vfs inode for a file name.<br><br clear="all"><br>-- <br>Regards,<br>Rishi Agrawal<br>
