RE: kernel notification to user space task

[Hari Gadi]

Hi,
You can use signals like the example in the book rubini (see the asynchronous notification section).

Be sure to download the examples (especially the "scull" example).
thanks,
Hari.

Subject: kernel notification to user space task

Hi,
  I have a user task running ...
I want my driver running in kernel to send a notification to this task when
it detects some event.

for example..if my driver detects that interface 'eth0' is coming up, it
should send a indication to user task saying 'network interface eth0 is up'

please cc me..

thanks
Amol
