Hi,I am busy these days.
You can just send a signal in kernel as following format:
send_sig(SIGxx,task,0);
and in your application,you should call signal(SIGxx,handler) or
sigaction
to register a signal handler to handle the signal which your kernel
send.
And the task ,your should not use current,your should pass the process
id
by call getpid() from use space and send it to kernel by ioctl.
And in your kernel ,you should get the called process's task struct by
call
find_task_by_pid();
But unfortunatly,you kernel mght panic when sending a signal to the
task.
You should change your mind.
Good luck.
