Hi,

I'm using 2.4.X series kernels. I wonder whether one
can install a signal handler for kernel threads; and
if not, how can one avail of such functionality?

All I want to do in a the signal handler is set/unset
particular flags which will be processed later, since
I don't want to be disrupted by the signal delivery.

Any pointers?
Thanks in advance,
Rock

I think you can do that.
But signals is interesting to do some process communication.
In kernel space, it's the same adress space for all the kernel code.
I don't know exactly what you want to do, but I'm sure you can avoid using signals.
