Thanks for your idea. Because I implement a kernel storage service based on a disk file through VFS layer. To simplify the implementation, I prefer to read/write the mapped kernel space address instead of the file data access api(such as page cache API / VFS API).
In FreeBSD, I can use vm_map_find to map a file into kernel space address( vnode pager) But in linux, I don't know how to implement this(map disk file into kernel space)?
