How to call a function in user space from inside the kernel ? The HyperNews Linux KHG Discussion Pages

Question: How to call a function in user space from inside the kernel ?

Is there a way to call a function inside an application from a device driver (in kernel mode)?

I've come across this problem while working on an my ATM network driver. When opening a channel the ATM application calls the driver with a pointer to a receive function that should be called whenever data is received on that channel.

If I use this pointer (which points into user space) inside the driver as shown below the whole systems crashes appearently because I'm trying to execute a user program in kernel mode. 

	...
	receive_ptr(buffer, buffer_size);
	...

Does anyone know how to fix this problem?

Thanks,

Ronald
