        Hi!

    Is there a way to access the file structure ("struct file *") in the
read and write method for sysfs access? When creating a sysfs entry with
device_create_file, we have to pass a device_attribute data structure,
which contains a pointer to functions "show" and "store".
The "struct device *" is passed to these functions, so can I derive the
"struct file *" (representing the file the user openend to access the sysfs
file) from the pointer to the device?

        Thanks,
                Markus
