This sounds very interesting... a "hack" could be the following:

Register your pids to the kernel module, e.g. via ioctl, and if the
(intra-kernel) notification will be delivered to your module you just
send a signal to your registered processes via kill_proc_info(). Guess
this is at least better than polling a file or sth similar.

I guess netlink could be the "cleaner" solution, but with more overhead?!=


Cheers,
Daniel
