you're missing that you're calling functions which expect a userspace
pointer, but with a kernel space pointer. You really shouldn't do that,
and in fact it doesn't work the way you did it. (you'd need to call
set_fs() and friends first, but if you're not really careful you open
security holes that way)

Can you explain why you'd want to do this from kernel space in the first
place? It's not unlikely that it's the wrong approach....
