difference between kernel modules and user processes is known to me !

I wanted to know the difference between kernel modules and kernel processes

A kernel module is a piece of code, an executable binary.

A kernel process is a dynamic resource hosted by the kernel -- a live incarnation of a module or application.

@lutusp,

thanks but did you mean that both a module and an kernel process are nearly the same things !
