Hi,
There are fs/open.c and fs/read_write.c modules in my kernel source.Bur after compiling I can't find my modules.Where are they?They are open.ko and read_write.ko,aren't they?

Thank you.

How do you know they're supposed to be modules? Why aren't they built into the kernel?

If they are built into the kernel can i edit them?

How do you mean? If you want to edit the source, then obviously you can but you'll need to recompile the kernel.

Thanks.One more question.If I add printk("my_message"); into sys_open() in open.c everytime when system call "open" is executed it will print message in /var/log/messages,right?
