Hi all,
I am working in linux, i would like to know abt whether can I open a file
inside the kernel module without using any application. If so how how the
files_struct will be maintained. Does a kernel module has this struct?

Don't do this. It's incompatible with namespaces.

Instead, figure out some way to pass the file contents to the kernel module.
