I actually don't understand your question much :-) , But, if your meaning is communication between Kernel & user space...and you want to know how the kernel know pid of user space process. You should read http://www.linuxjournal.com/article/7356. Hope this help.

Hi all,

Is there a way, from within a kernel module,
to know the pid of the process
call_usermodehelper is creating ?

I want to create a user space process from within
a kernel module, and be able to kill it, send signals
to it, etc...

can I know its pid ?

thanks
