Hello,
Does kernel_thread detach the new Kernel thread from its parent?
Does something like pthread_detach(tid) exist in Kernel module's programming?
Thanks

AFAIR kernel_thread won't detach thread from its parent, for this you
have to explicitely call reparent_to_init

I think no, as there isn't any seperate memory for the kernel threads,
so no need for memory resources consumed by tid will be freed
immediately when tid terminates .... (CMIIW)
