Hi all:

2011/7/12 loody [off-list ref]

Dear all:
Is there faster way to find a give name of task?
for example, I have a thread, named "test", is there faster way to get the
task struct  by passing "test" to some kernel api?

Regards,

I found a way as below:
for_each_process(task) {
printk(?%s[%d]\n?, task->comm, task->pid);
}

But it is time-consuming to do so if I periodically want to know whether
"test" exist or not.
is there better way to do so?
