Ok. Could we hold off on this a little bit? In general I think this is sane, but looking through my pending patches I have at least one patch that uses find_get_pid from a modular context. The general issue is that drivers and thus most modules should not be aware of pid_t values. However there do seem to be a few rare exceptions. Eric
