problem with system calls

Hi,

What is the cleanest way of using a system call from inside a device
driver code. I need to open a file from driver code , sys_open() gives a
bad addrress error.

I think sys_open treats the filename buffer to be in user space and hence
it fails.

Any help will be appreciated.
