Kernel OOPS[filesystem programming]

[Jeba Anandhan A]

i have written kernel program to access the data
structure of particular inode.

#include<linux/kernel.h>
#include<linux/module.h>
#include<linux/fs.h>
                                                      
                                                      
              
                                                      
                                                      
              
static struct inode *my_inode;
static unsigned long inode_no;
int init_module(void){
printk("inode module inserted\n");
inode_no=1304012;
printk("inode no=%d",inode_no);
my_inode->i_ino=inode_no; // it creates segmentation
//fault why so..
return 0;
}
                                                      
                                                      
              
void cleanup_module(void){
}
                                                      
                                                      
              
when i insert the module ,kernel got OOPS.
