as part of a tutorial i'm writing on kernel features, i want to be
able to point at actual examples of those features in the source tree,
but not such complicated examples that that complexity obscures the
basic principle i'm trying to present.
as an example, i want to present an example of a kernel thread which
calls a user mode helper function. there's lots of those around, but
i'd like to find one that's fairly minimalistic and easily
understandable.
also, i don't want to present deprecated APIs, so i'd want one that
uses the kthread API, not the older kernel_thread API.
any suggestions for something fairly straightforward? i'm just
about to look at "khubd" to see if it would fit the bill, but i'm open
to other possibilities.
