Hi All, I am trying to move a kernel module from kernel space to user space and run it as a user space process with the required changes. I am just wondering if I need to replace the kernel synchronization primitives used in the kernel module with the user space synchronization mechanisms like pthread_mutex etc. If I just move the code as it is to user space and run it what would be the behavior of the kernel synchronization mechanisms like spinlock, semaphore etc? Could somebody please enlighten me? Thanks in advance, Arvind. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!
