The proper way to open a file from inside the kernel

[Kim Shrier]

Hello,

I am experimenting with modifying a kernel module and I need to be able
to open/read/write/close a file from within the module.  Is there a
preferred way to do this?  Are there any locking or buffering issues
that I need to be aware of?

Thanks,
Kim
