Hi all,
i am starting from inside a module a kernel thread*,but in some time later
i
want to remove that module and stop the thread.
What is the process while unloading a module to release a kernel thread in
2.4.x kernel series.?????
Thanks in advance.

Look at code that uses kernel threads. You send the task a signal
and synchronize its exit with a semaphore.
