Hello,

is it possible to start a new kernel thread out of an existing one for
the 2.2.x kernels ?
During module load I am able to start several kernel threads with the
kernel_thread function releasing unneeded ressources (example in
usb_hub.c).
But when I try to start a new thread after the module being resident a
fault occurs. Is it possible to use the call from such a generated
thread, too ? Which flags need to be set ?
Or is some other handling (special stack setup etc.) needed ?
I didn't found any doc or example on it.

Werner
