If the threads share the same(single) PGD then AFAIK they must be sharing the descriptor task_struct . because the threads extract the the PGD from the mm_struct in the descriptor. Now how do we account for the thread local storage ...if everything is shared ?? iam confused about this . -- Kernelnewbies: Help each other learn about the Linux kernel.
