I want to write a module which will spawn two kthreads where kthread-1 will send signal X to kthread-2 and kthread-2 has registered a signal handler to catch signal X. When the signal X is caught by kthread-2, it will execute its signal handler. Just am exploring signal handing and its intricacies, so thought of this exercise. Is it possible ?

Is it possible to send signal from one kthread to another kthread using
signal apis defined in signal.h and signal.c. Also I want to override the default behavior of a signal handler. How can I achieve this ?
You probably want to do a "notify?" i think. Care to elaborate more on what exactly you are trying to do? If it's information you need to pass between 2 kthreads then signal handling is not a good idea there are other mechanisms you can use.
