I need to start a process/program while being in the kernel to filter
some text. The input and output are used by a filesystem (in kernel, not
a deamon). The filesystem decides, when to start the program and
waits for it to finish, the result is then used. The user process must
not be destroyed.
Example:
User decides to access file "a". There exists no file a, but files b and
c. Program (userdefined) should start, get the names a, b and c as input
and respond b or c. For security reasons program runs as user's process.
Which is better: Giving files as params or read them from stdin?
And more important: Is it possible to do this with the current kernel?
What other way (deamon?) is available?
kernel_thread may not be useable from within kernelspace, and the same
with fork/execve?
Thanks,
Bruno
