I'm trying to retrieve all the processes information(name, pid ,state, parent) with the following code:
struct task_struct *task = current; for_each_process(task){
I think you are clobbering up current.
Just :
struct task_struct *task;
for_each_process(task){
...should be enough.
Now I would like to know whether there is any other (better) way of acheiving this task?!
You can get it from /proc.
