Being an idiot is fun. kthread *is* a process context. Never the less, if anyone has interesting insight as for how to .very. fast file I/O inside the kernel (Yes, I know that its considered bad, and may results from a bad design decision; Linux was never designed that way, etc. Umm... sadly (?) enough, porting my code to vxworks is not an option ;))
In general, I plan on doing swapper like file I/O.
