Subject: pid_task function fails to execute
Date: Thu, 5 May 2011 11:39:29 +0530	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <BANLkTingPCoTEABq9UcPFcizeOUzhatpbw@mail.gmail.com> (raw)

Hello friends,

I am having issue with the pid_task function with arguments first as
userspace pid (using getpid fn) and 2nd argument PIDTYPE_PID.

"pid_task(<pid from userspace>, PIDTYPE_PID);"

Can anyone assist me what can be the cause?

Have a Good Day,
Thank you,
Ankur.
