    Hello,
    I am trying to implement something like Windows recycle bin into Linux
    kernel. I need to save the entire filename of each unlinked file into a
    special file. So I open that special file via filp_open and then I write
    into it via file->f_op->write.
    But it returns me EFAULT. I guess its because generic_file_write calls
    copy_from_user and the buffer which I am trying to write from is not in
    user space.
    Is there any easy solution of my problem?
    Thanks,

    Michal Pise
