Hello, When a kthread is created using the kthread_create (9) function, i found out that a new instance of struct proc is created and allocated for the thread just as in case of a creation of a new process.Also, the thread is assigned a pid as in the case of a process. What is the difference between a kernel thread and a normal process created using fork ? except the address space sharing with swapper and kernel mode execution of the kthread. Is a kthread effectively just a process always running in kernel mode ?
That is exactly what a kthread is. There is some work in process to make them true threads within one or more processes.
