Hello everyone,
I am new to kernel module programming and got some problem while compiling some old kernel code.
The
code is trying to get user id using current->uid, but it is not
working by reminding me 'task_struct; doesn't contain field uid '.
I checked the linux source code , uid is not there any more.
The 'current' is of task_struct, so could anyone tell me where is the new place for that uid ?
Thanks in advance,
-Kun

They were replaced by some other calls. For example the following is a
snippet which ports the old code to the new API:
- address, current->uid);
+ address, current_uid());
The commit 1330deb0f6e89525c8e9fcbd6b13522c9243bfc0 is a good example of
what are the new replacements.
This is all that I know,
