Kernel Space - User Space Interfaces

http://people.ee.ethz.ch/~arkeller/linux/kernel_user_space_howto.html

This how-to aims to provide an overview over all existing communication mechanisms between Linux user and kernel space. The goal is to present a starting point for a developer who needs to transfer data between Linux kernel modules and user space programs. Each mechanism is described in its own section, with each section further divided into Description, Implementation, and Resources & Further Reading. In the description section we describe the basic mechanism and intended use of the mechanism. The implementation provides an example source code along with a short description. The Resources & Further reading section provides a list of useful articles and book chapters.
