I want to read from serial port (I mean the port, which is called

/proc/serialPort

This is just to get familiar with driver programming (in kernelspace),
it could be better done in userspace - I know. But this is for learning.

It is a kind of synthetic problem, but after this, I hope too know how
to handle further ones.

Understood? It is a little bit strange, but hope it is explained well. ;)

If tell me that for /dev/ttyS0 I can adept it to /dev/ttyS1 etc..


struct file *filp = filp_open("/dev/ttyS0");
char buf[4096];
mm_segment_t oldfs = get_fs();
loff_t pos = 0;

set_ds(KERNEL_DS);
while (vfs_read(filp, buf, sizeof(buf), &pos) > 0)
	printk("%s\n", buf);

filp_close(filp);

is it the way to access from kernelspace the userspace fs?
the not-correct-way?

If it is so, I will wait for another solution ;)

Dont want to learn writing nasty kernel code. *g*

Anyway thx.
