Hi all,

While working at the kernel level, I want to write some data to the file without user knowing about it.
I guess I can allocate a new page using "__grab_cache_page()" and write/copy that data to the newly allocated page. The page will be eventually written to the file.
If this idea sounds practical, how do I write/copy the data at kernel level to that newly allocated page?

Vineet
