I want to write a module which will spawn two kthreads where kthread-1 will send signal X to kthread-2 and kthread-2 has registered a signal handler to catch signal X. When the signal X is caught by kthread-2, it will execute its signal handler.
Just am exploring signal handing and its intricacies, so thought of this exercise. Is it possible ?

You probably want to do a "notify?" i think. Care to elaborate more
on what exactly you are trying to do? If it's information you need to
pass between 2 kthreads then signal handling is not a good idea there
are other mechanisms you can use.
