I'm not sure if it would be useful, but the function "call_usermodehelper()" (defined in include/linux/kmod.h) can be used to execute a user space binary from the kernel space. It is used by the hot-plug mechanism to notify user space about the new devices added to the kernel.
I think that signals to udev is via NETLINK sockets. How would you use call_usermodehelper ? invoke a script ? It sounds unreliable and slow I think... Thank You naziir.
