[lug] kernel thread

[mohan kumar]

hi,
iam trying to create a kernel thread and it does not
seam to work.

my code goes like this(it is just a test module)

...
...
...
int thread(void * a)
{
  printk("am there\n");
}
int init_module()
{ 
  kernel_thread(thread,NULL,CLONE_VM|CLONE_FS);
}
void cleanup_module()
{
printk("over and out\n");
}
...
...
...

on some docs i saw something like, i have to
schedule the thread with a task structure. after some
view at the scheduling code i understod that they are
outdated docs. so can u help me by telling what
iam missing?
(i am still new to linux kernel :-) )
