I think I know this answer, but just to verify:
Is it acceptable to use functions like gethostbyname() inside of the kernel?
Normally a userland function call should stay in userland, right? Well what about in a thread like nfsiod? It is kind of in userland (it's a process) and kind of in kernel land.
What is the general rule of thumb for this?
