Regarding Memory sharing

["Vinay Salotagi" <vinayss@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi All

I have allocated a piece of memory in the kernel space ( using kmalloc ) and
wanted to share this memory with a process running in user mode.
Is there any way that the process  can directly access this memory without
writing a system call. I mean can we attach the this memory in the process's
address space, some thing similar to shmat( )
which we use with the shared memory and directly start the transactions.

Thanks in advance..................
