hai all,
Is it possible to call call_usermodehelper from interrupt context.
I want to call a user program from the keyboard driver. When am calling, it is hanging, and giving the error that
<0> Kernel panic : Aiee, killing interrupt handler
In interrupt handler -- not syncing.
I am using Redhat linux 9.

Can anybody please help me.


Thanks&Regards,

P.Manohar,
