[2.4] proc_self_readlink()/proc_self_follow_link()

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

 



Hello.

sys_getpid() returns current->tgid for both 2.4 and 2.6 kernels.
  http://lxr.linux.no/source/kernel/timer.c?v=2.4.28#L753
  http://lxr.linux.no/source/kernel/timer.c?v=2.6.11#L967

Then, why not use current->tgid instead of current->pid
in proc_self_readlink()/proc_self_follow_link() for 2.4 kernels?
  http://lxr.linux.no/source/fs/proc/base.c?v=2.4.28#L1017
  http://lxr.linux.no/source/fs/proc/base.c?v=2.6.11#L1589

(Well, this change would trigger a lot of changes
in fs/proc/base.c to change from *_PID_* to *_TGID_* .)

Thank you.
