Subject: Wierd Problem with Current Task Struct
Date: Thu, 9 Oct 2003 13:20:28 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <007b01c38ea2$c7ea40d0$6401a8c0@alpha> (raw)
Greetings
I am currently having a problem with the "current" task struct in the
2.4.18-4GB SUSE80 Kernel ... I am writing a kernel module that is calling
down through a system call... The system call is getting the PID and FS
pointer from the Current task struct, but the FS pointer is NULL and the PID
is 0 .... Is this normal? Should current->fs ever be NULL? I haven't noticed
anyone checking it in the Linux Kernel, so I think it is assumed to always
be a good value... Can anyone shed light on this?
Thanks in advance....
Tom
