Again, I don't know much about inotify, but you can read the following URL http://www.linuxjournal.com/article/8478. Later, I was thinking, maybe the simplest approach for Ming is using signal. From kernel space, send signal (using certain signal number) and force re-schedule and in user space, check pending signal. If it is the signal number associated with the interrupt, react accordingly. Ming, what do you think? regards Mulyadi -- Kernelnewbies: Help each other learn about the Linux kernel.
