So this permits ELSA to maintain a complete picture of the process/thread hierarchy? I guess that fits into the "do it in userspace" mantra - certainly hooking into fork() is a minimal way of doing this, although I wonder what the limitations are. Implementation-wise: there's a lot of code there and the interface is a bit awkward. Why not just feed that kobject you have there into kobject_uevent()? - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
