Re: Calling user-space code from within module?

Hello!

In article <[e-mail]> you write:
>Is there any way to call a user-space function from within a kernel module,

No precise hints, but you could look at the way how signal handler
functions are called.

Another way is to avoid the problem, using instead a userland<->kernel
socket (or similar) connection and some "remote procedure call" over
that socket.

Hope that helps a bit.

Kind regards,

Hannah.
