Child Background Process

[cs412036]

When it states that a child background process should not be detached
does it mean only for user processes or both user and kernel processes.

Should the first kthread be considered the parent of the other 4 kthreads?

Thanks

any user process that is spawned for background should not be detached.
they should run as bg processes but should still have their parent
pointers and proper refCounts. kernel processes being detached is a
separate issue.
