 complete wedging.
 
+Task information
+---------------
+
+The information about which application (if any) was involved in the device
+wedging is useful for userspace if they want to notify the user about what
+happened (e.g. the compositor display a message to the user "The <task name>
+caused a graphical error and the system recovered") or to implement policies
+(e.g. the daemon may "ban" an task that keeps resetting the device). If the task
+information is available, the uevent will display as ``PID=<pid>`` and
+``TASK=<task name>``. Otherwise, ``PID`` and ``TASK`` will not appear in the
+event string.
+
+The reliability of this information is driver and hardware specific, and should
+be taken with a caution regarding it's precision. To have a big picture of what
+really happened, the devcoredump file provides should have much more detailed
+information about the device state and about the event.
