John,
Could you please use call_usermodehelper() in this patch rather than exec_usermodehelper()? I want to kill exec_usermodehelper() sometime.
Plus your code will be simpler - no need to create your own kernel thread. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
