Hi there, obviously this is a newbie question, but I couldn't find any documentation on how to do it.. I tried several ways but couldnt do it. I designed a system call, so a user will call it, and a new file will be created ('/tmp/filexx'). After that, I have another system call, that will map the file into the maps of the user process. The idea is the same as IPC... I managed to create the file with this function (in the first system call): fd = filp_open(path, O_CREAT | O_RDWR , 777); After that, the user will call another system call, and it will map this file to the process maps. something like this: filp_open(route, O_RDWR,0 ); do_mmap(fp, 0, tamano, PROT_READ | PROT_WRITE | PROT_EXEC, MAP_SHARED, 0); After I call the second system call, the user tries to access the memory, but gets the message "Bus Error". I tried to manually create a file with vi, and then use the second system call, and worked perfectly. I could use the shared memory without problems. The problems seems to be in the first system call (with filp_open), when I try to create a new file... Can somebody suggest me something, on how I could fix this issue?? It is very important because it is for a college projects. Greetings, and thanks in advance for the answers.
