HELP!!: CPU resource allocation between kernel modules and user mode process
Hi,all:
I run my program which consists of one kernel module and one user mode process on a dual core server. The problem here is the kernel module consumes 100% of one core while the user mode process only consumes 10% of the other core, is there any solution that I can assign some computing power from the user-mode core to the kernel-mode core, is there any allocation scheme? I knew linux seems to have some system call to allocate CPU between different processes, but not with kernel module.
Thanks very much to reply.

CORE(5) BSD File Formats Manual CORE(5)
NAME
core -- memory image file format
SYNOPSIS
#include <sys/param.h>
DESCRIPTION
A small number of signals which cause abnormal termination of a process also cause a record of the process's in-core state to be written to
disk for later examination by one of the available debuggers. (See sigaction(2).) This memory image is written to a file named by default
core.pid, where pid is the process ID of the process, in the /cores directory, provided the terminated process had write permission in the
directory, and the directory existed.
The maximum size of a core file is limited by setrlimit(2). Files which would be larger than the limit are not created.
The core file consists of the Mach-O(5) header as described in the <mach-o/loader.h> file. The remainder of the core file consists of vari-
ous sections described in the Mach-O(5) header.
NOTE
Core dumps are disabled by default under Darwin/Mac OS X. To re-enable core dumps, a privileged user must do one of the following
* Edit /etc/launchd.conf or $HOME/.launchd.conf and add a line specifying the limit limit core unlimited
* A privileged user can also enable cores with launchctl limit core unlimited
* A privileged user can also enable core files by using ulimit(1) or limit(1) depending upon the shell.

A core file format appeared in Version 6 AT&T UNIX.
