    I am a new bee to this group as well as to the Linux kernel. I am not very
    knowledgeable to the linux kernel and am still learning it.

    The thing I am trying to do now is to pass message to a user-mode
    application from kernel when the application is up and running in the
    following way: the kernel detects the application is up and sends message to
    the application at certain times or certain events. It is a sort of
    relationship like client (kernel) and server (the user-mode application).
    Wonder what mechanism I can use to fulfill the message passing part (or
    communication part). I tried kernel mode domain socket and it doesn't work.
    Any suggestions out there? You can email me your
    suggestions/answers/discussions directly or to this list. All of the replies
    are appreciated.
