I am working on a project that is migrating from linux kernel 2.6 to 3.10.
The 2.6 version contained calls to api daemonize() which is not longer available in newer kernel.
So far i have seen kthread_run() as a replacement. However, when i put in kernel_thread() with function to start, null and string name as arguments, i got lots of : "can't fork" errors.
Can any one advice upon the correct replacement?

Kernels have no APIs as they are not libraries. They do have an ABI, which, beyond other things, define how do applications interact with them through system calls. Unix application developers use the standard C library (eg: libc , glibc ) to build ABI compliant binaries.
The first Rust work you'll see in the Linux Next kernels will be, Ojeda said, “Rust abstractions for subsystems and write drivers and other modules” in the LKML. Eventually, Rust will be a fully integrated second language in the Linux kernel.
Monolithic. The Linux kernel is monolithic, meaning the kernel handles all hardware and driver operations. The entire operating system is virtually working in kernel space.
To manage a kernel thread, you should use the helper functions in <linux/kthread.h> such as kthread_run().
