Good question! sys_open() would be the obvious call, but it isn't exported to modules. Try open_namei() and open_inode().

Subject: opening files in kernel space?

How does one do it? I have gotten the sound submodules to autoload, but
awe_wave doesn't quite work. I was thinking of making awe_wave read a default
sound font, and load it onto the card when it is insmod. But I don't know how
to open a file.
