I'm trying to develop a lodable kernel module but I have a problems with certain system functions that have been deprecated. With the previuos kernel(2.6.26), I used the following functions kill_proc(pid_t pid, int sig, int priv) find_task_by_pid(int pid) Now i use the linux kernel 2.6.27.5 Instead of kill_proc I tried to use kill_pid. Kill_pid() requires as a first argument a struct pid and not a pid_t pid. kill_pid(struct pid *pid, int sig, int priv) how can I get "struct pid" by "pid_t pid"? how can I get the "task_struct" by the pid?
