Hi all I tried a simple snippet like ... struct task_struct *p; p = current; printk(KERN_DEBUG "%u", p->pid); ... Its gave me an error compiling the module with message "error: dereferencing pointer to incomplete type" , but i can use current->pid and it compiles fine. Why is then using p giving me an error?
Since, current is an inline function returning struct task_struct *, it should work fine. For your error message it seems that sched.h and/or asm/current.h is not included? Did you include <asm/current.h> and <sched.h>? :) regards Manish Regmi -- Kernelnewbies: Help each other learn about the Linux kernel.
