Thread Group Leader

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hi,

I'm trying to store some data (namely, an LSM security) for a POSIX process, i.e. data that is the same for all POSIX threads belonging to one process. Unfortunately Linux task_structs are per task, where a task is a POSIX thread rather than process. I was thinking that I could just store the data in the security field of the "struct task_struct *group_leader". I am wondering if there is any better way of doing this and whether the group_leader can ever change or whether it will ever change?

Thank you very much for your help,
Can Sar
