| |
Greetings,
I'm writing a module which starts a kernel thread at insmod time. I have run into two problems. The first is that my thread is a child of insmod unless I start it from outside process context. Currently I work around that by launching it from a kernel timer which expires momentarily after insmod. The other problem is that when my thread functions exits, it becomes a zombie. Is there a way for me to cleanly remove the thread at rmmod time when it is finished doing it's work?
