I asked about a kernel function waiting for a user space app, and a guy who knows very mush about the linux kernel give me this answer:

Split it into two things. Instead of thinking about the kernel module
waiting think about the kernel module remembering enough state on a 
queue
somewhere and finishing, then a second set of code execution occurring 
when
the user space app makes a second ioctl call with the reply.

But I don't know how interpret this, please help me....
