In Linux kernel, there is no concept of thread. Linux implements all threads as standard processes. Thread is just a process that shares resources with other processes. There are no special data structures to represent threads. Each thread has its own process descriptor and appears to kernel as normal process - they just happen to shares resource such as address space with other processes. _______________________________________________ Kernelnewbies mailing list Kernelnewbies@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.kernelnewbies.org/mailman/listinfo/kernelnewbies
