Hello Gurus... Is there a method to schedule user mode code from kernel agent? basically think that when some work is to be scheduled in user mode, the app registers with the kernel mode agent with a function/parm to run, then when the callback is appropriate the kerenl agent triggers this callback to happen. I can think of either using a shared buffer to communicate between kernel/user space and use a dedicated thread to do this task. But i would keep a page pinned for each process, and this may be limiting... are there any examples of code in kernel that would do this? if someone would not beat me up. for quoting this... windows 2000 offers 2 such facilities. (APC or async procedure calls) where a thread can block and when ready will be woken via the kernel agent and can run a user supplied function. or a method to bind a function to a file handle, when there is Completed IO, the kernel would call the registered function with a parameter of the buffer submitted for IO. any ideas would be greatly appreciated. ashokr - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
