内核中的call_usermodehelper函数可以实现在内核空间调用用户空间的应用程序。
在linux内核中，实现关机的接口：__orderly_poweroff，该接口的主要作用是：在内核空间，调用用户空间的应用程序“/sbin/poweroff”，达到关机的目的。通过调该接口，可以实现在内核中实现“长按关机”操作。
char poweroff_cmd[POWEROFF_CMD_PATH_LEN] = "/sbin/poweroff";
static int __orderly_poweroff(bool force)
{
char **argv;
static char *envp[] = {
"HOME=/",
"PATH=/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin",
NULL
};
int ret;
argv = argv_split(GFP_KERNEL, poweroff_cmd, NULL); //参数分解得到argv[0]为"/sbin/poweroff"
if (argv) {
ret = call_usermodehelper(argv[0], argv, envp, UMH_WAIT_EXEC); //调用关键接口
argv_free(argv);
} else {
printk(KERN_WARNING "%s failed to allocate memory for \"%s\"\n",
__func__, poweroff_cmd);
ret = -ENOMEM;
}
if (ret && force) {
//如果call_usermodehelper执行失败，则强制关机
emergency_sync();
kernel_power_off();
}
return ret;
}
