Re: sosend() and mbuf

I'm getting crazy,

I don't know why kern_open() works in the module's main thread, but
when I use it in another thread created by kthread_create() it crashes
the kernel ???

However, when i checked the pid & tid of the new created thread it was
not the same as the parent nor as the proc0 & thread0

I am not sure, but sharing another process's address space doesn't have
to imply it shares the same pid, right?
