Re: call_usermodhelper()

I was originally trying this with a kernel_thread()/execve() and was
having the same problem, I was told it was because dup required a process
context and that I should be using call_usermodehelper. Honestly, I don't
know enough to have a personal preference between the two, is there a way
to do this with the previous method? or really any other method?
