I'm trying to use namei() in a module, something like:
namei("/tmp");
but it returns an error (-14).
This would work:
mm_segment_t orig_fs;
orig_fs = get_fs();
set_fs(KERNEL_DS);
err = namei("/tmp");
set_fs(old_fs);
The namei function expects user space pointers, you're sending
it a kernel pointer, so you have to adjust your mm segment during
the call.
