Well, this code needs to read some data continously. Then the data must
be processed and written to a file.

If you expect problems, I could create a new syscall and pass a buffer to
it. Probably this should be Ok. But the buffer can be huge (comparable
with the RAM size), so I would like to avoid copying data. This means that
the kernel needs to write to the userspace buffer directly.

Thank you for the reply.
