I see.

This means that there will be 16384 + 256 files create for host. It also
means that we need to kmalloc at least (16384 + 256) * (size of each
selection) so that each file knows what to print. On top of that, when
we change mode of operation (e.g. device->host), then we need to
create/destroy all these files. Is this the way to do it?
Thanks,
