Why is it interesting? What is the story behind? --- Kosta
I need to move the IP in user-space which currently is as a proprietary module and release the kernel component as GPL.
So for decision making I require this communication.
Please consult a lawyer as to if this is really a proper separation that will hold up to the GPL requirements of the kernel.
good luck,

Thanks greg for the suggestion. Companies manager are looking into those legal matters. I as a developer have been told to work on U-K & K-U communication mechanism. Would love to have your suggestion as to how to go about it? Thanks & Regards, Rohan Puri
