Subject: distinguish kernel thread / user task
Date: Fri, 3 Dec 2004 18:16:43 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <64b1faec041203091654251b18@mail.gmail.com> (raw)

Hi all,

I have little question while doing some kernel implementation.
How can I distinguish whether a task_struct is actually kernel thread
or mere user task?

My idea was to look at task_struct "mm" field to discriminate them,
but that was wrong...

Thanks,

Sylvain
