Could anybody tell me how to decide if a kernel "thread of execution" is
running in a process or system context?
I need a process context in order to do some delays/waiting (in a good
way), and I currently send a nofification to a user-space manager (that I
need anyway) which replies with a ioctl which again calls a registred
callback function. This may sound very hairy, but it works just fine. I
just want to avoid this if the current "thread of execution" should happen
to have a process context already.
