What information did you want to get for processes? /proc/PID/xxx is not enough for u?
this task I need to lock the list of all tasks. I've seen some example in the kernel code which lock tasklist_lock. However this symbol
tasklist_lock had been deprecated for a long time. Maybe rcu_read_lock could help u.
cannot be used by modules. Is there any other way I can lock the list of tasks then? Thanks _______________________________________________ Kernelnewbies mailing list Kernelnewbies at kernelnewbies.org http://lists.kernelnewbies.org/mailman/listinfo/kernelnewbies
