U need to change it to
int f_open(void)
{
struct open_args o;
struct close_args c;
struct thread *td =3D curthread;
int fd;
o.path =3D "/home/file1.c";
o.flags =3D O_CREAT | O_RDWR | O_APPEND;
o.mode =3D 777;
/>>/fd =3D open(td,&a);
/*Beacuse open passes UIO_USERSPACE and you are using open from KLD thus
you need to change it to UIO_SYSSPACE and also need to use kern_open()
which is defined in #include <sys/syscallsubr.h>
as below*/
fd=3Dkern_open(td,o.path, UIO_SYSSPACE, o.flags,o.mode);
printf("\nFile descriptor =3D %d",fd);
c.fd =3D fd;
close(td,&c);
}
