Ok, I found the way! :-)
On loading my kernel module, I call kthread_create to create the thread
(kproc_start is only a wrapper to it). Doing this, I also obtain the pid of new
process: this one enters in a loop as shown below:
while (var == 0) {
kproc_suspend_loop(procp);
.....
tsleep(procp, PUSER, "procslp", hz);
}
kthread_exit(0);
On unloading this module, I set to 1 'var' and let the thread exits.
I hope this the right way to do it.
Thanx to everyone, guy :-)
