Subject: task_struct reference counting
Date: Fri, 24 Sep 2004 16:59:27 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <4154364F.6060405@tiscali.it> (raw)

How one is supposed to handle the reference count of a task_struct from a 
kernel module?

get_task_struct() and put_task_struct() do not work, because the latter can't 
be used from a module, since it calls __put_task_struct(), which is not 
EXPORT_SYMBOL()'d.

I'm running 2.6.8.1.

Thanks in advance for your time,

	Francesco Casadei
