This is a code snippet of the same. It returns with error No -14.
This a part of the constructor code for the module. I am using 2.6.20 kernel.

        char x1[64]="/home/ssinha/foo";
        printk(KERN_INFO "Hello world \n");
        return1 = sys_open(x1,O_CREAT | O_WRONLY | O_TRUNC,0);
        printk(KERN_ALERT "Returned Value is : %d. \n",return1);

Am I logically wrong somewhere ??

You'll have to do a set_fs(KERNEL_DS) , before calling open.
