I am experimenting with Device Driver in Kernel version 2.4. Is there a method by which the device driver could be indicated by the kernel of the termination of a "user process" asynchronously. I know of the function find_task_by_pid that the driver could call to get the task structure given the pid. Thanks in Advance Srini
