[ENBD] Kernel Space to User space communication

  I'm working on a kernel module in linux 2.4 that needs to communicate to a
user space program and I was wondering what are the merrits of using sockets to
do
 the communication.  At the moment the communication seems to work.
  I'm concerned because I thought I read on a early thread that doing a socket
communication between kernel and user space is a poor idea.   If this is case,
  can you let me know why?

  Thank You
