i'm new to in developing kernel software under linux and what to know if i'm write when i create kernel_threads like this:
variant I --------- 1) call kernel_thread 2) in the thread function a) get the big kernel lock b) call daemonize c) release big kernel lock
variant II ---------- schedule the call to kernel_thread using tq_schedule
- is there no need to call daemonize in the second variant - if yes why? - can i do both variants during interupt time (when there is no valid current)?
