Reading from flash in kernel

[Guennadi Liakhovetski]

Hello

I need to read data from a flash partition in kernel. At the moment I do

mtd = get_mtd_device(NULL, MTD_MINOR);
ret = MTD_READ(mtd, ppos, len, &retlen, kbuf);
put_mtd_device(mtd);

MTD_READ() returns 0, but nothing is copied to the buffer. Well, I would
guess I am doing it wrong, what's the right way?

Thanks
Guennadi
