Messages in this thread Patch in this message | | | Subject | [PATCH 2.6.12-rc3-mm3] connector: add a fork connector | From | Guillaume Thouvenin <> | Date | Mon, 09 May 2005 10:07:09 +0200 |

Hello,
This patch adds a fork connector in the do_fork() routine. It sends a netlink datagram when enabled. The message can be read by a user space application. By this way, the user space application is alerted when a fork occurs. Informations sent by the kernel are the processor ID where the fork occurred, the pid of the parent and the pid of the child.
It uses the userspace <-> kernelspace connector that works on top of the netlink protocol. The fork connector can be enable or disable by sending a message to the connector.
The fork connector is used by the Enhanced Linux System Accounting project http://elsa.sourceforge.net
This patch applies to 2.6.12-rc3-mm3
Best Regards, Guillaume
