Hello. The kernel sometimes calls usermode applications using call_usermodehelper(). But who creates a task_struct for calling ____call_usermodehelper()? (1) a process that triggered call_usermodehelper() (2) a kernel thread that handles event queues (keventd ? khelper?) (3) both (1) and (2) (4) neither (1) nor (2) Regards. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send an email with "unsubscribe kernelnewbies" to ecartis@xxxxxxxxxxxx Please read the FAQ at http://kernelnewbies.org/FAQ
