This would never work, because of call_usermodhelper() -> call_usermodehelper_keys() -> wait_for_completion() -> schedule() -> boom. You can't schedule from an interrupt context. This fact is even mentioned in the comment of call_usermodehelper_keys() function. -- Jiri Kosina -- Kernelnewbies: Help each other learn about the Linux kernel.
