Title: Re: Unknown sys_open

Actually, we want to write some stats info to compactflash. The code is below:

 

        fs = get_fs();
        set_fs(get_ds());
        if((tfd = sys_open("/dev/hda2", O_WRONLY, S_IRWXU)) < 0) {
                printk("Unable to open stats file to write\n");
        } else {
                filp = fget(tfd);
                write_sizef = (sizeof(flash_stats_info_t)
                                + (wear_planes * sizeof(aesop_flash_blk_t))
                                + (wear_planes * sizeof(int)));

                rbytes = filp->f_op->write(filp, (char*)(wstats_mem),
                                write_sizef, &filp->f_pos);
                fput(filp);
                sys_close(tfd);
        }
        set_fs(fs);

you should fix the module to not use sys_open; it's been deprecated for
a LOOOONG time.

can you post the (full) sourcecode for the module so that we can do
suggestions on how to fix it ?
