In sched.h file the macro "for_each_process(p)" is defined as follws: #define for_each_process(p) \ for (p = &init_task; (p = next_task(p)) != &init_task; ) Kernel maintaines the single linked list of "tast_struct" structures to keep track of all running processes, the first element of that is init_task structure which is of task_struct type. The above defined macro starts from first process and goes through the linked list of all process and ends at the last process in list.
