What you're trying to do is whole lot easier and less complex if you do it (mostly) in user space.Do fork(), then probably coordinate via mutex, signal or simply do wait(). Please notice that I don't say you're wasting your time, I just think it's not something that should be managed by kernel space. So, I think you should go with (3).
