AFAIK __in__ __kernel__ there isn't any difference between user space process and kernel thread/process (AFAIR for example scheduler don't make any difference between kernel/user process (CMIIW)). But I can say one thing if the kernel thread is a proper thread means the creator of the thread called daemonize for it then process->mm will be NULL, which you can check ! As kernel threads don't need to have mm associated with it rather it just use the mm of the previous process which is scheduled out recently ! -- Fawad Lateef -- Kernelnewbies: Help each other learn about the Linux kernel.
