Hi All, I've got a doubt regarding the call to call_usermodehelper. Can i invoke it from a timer function? One of the recent thread's on this mailing list suggest that we can call it from module_init(to get a process context). But i read somewhere that the process context for call_usermodehelper is obtained by creating a thread from the kernel-event daemon. If that is the case, can i invoke call_usermodehelper from a timer function? Thanks and Regards, Indraneel -- Kernelnewbies: Help each other learn about the Linux kernel.
