man kthread says: The kthread_create() function is used to create a kernel thread. The new thread shares its address space with process 0, the swapper process, and runs in kernel mode only.
However, when i checked the pid & tid of the new created thread it was not the same as the parent nor as the proc0 & thread0 simple printf() gives: swap procid=0, threadid=0 procid=1680, threadid=100089 procid=1681, threadid=100090 <--- created by kthread_create() 2009/8/3 Max Laier <m...@love2party.net>: > On Tuesday 04 August 2009 00:03:40 Dag-Erling Smørgrav wrote: >> Dag-Erling Smørgrav <d...@des.no> writes: >> > One thing that springs to mind is that kern_open() will dereference >> > td->td_proc, and AFAIK kthread_create() does not associate the thread >> > with a process. >> >> This is wrong, and contradicts what I wrote further down.
