Hello, Can anybody please explain me how will i access user buffer from a kernel thread created from kernel_thread call, cos when we call kernel_thread to create a new thread it calls daemonize() and internally this function calls exit_mm(). the result is like all the mapping done is shed. and it ensures the thread works in only kernel space.and im not able to acess the user buffer from this thread. thanks in advance for any inputs. cheers :-) srbunnan __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
