daemon kernel thread
 

Hi,
I want to create a daemon kernel thread in Linux 2.6.14. Which function should I use [kernel_thread Or kthread_create]? and What Flag should I pass while creating the thread?

Regards,

Amit

kthreadd for linux kernel daemon
 

Hi,
in the latest linux kernel 2.6 , all the device drivers is under the control of kThreadd having process id 2, more info gnudeveloper.com

Two functions, kthread_run or kthread_create, can be used. The kthread_run call kthread_create to create a new thread and the new thread is waked up right away. See include/linux/kthread.h
