Hi Rahul/Daniel, I fully agree with you. I am able to iterate task list. But I am little bit confused about one thing. When I wrote module and used for_each_process, I was expecting a unresolved error during loading of module. This is because for_each_process is not exported from static kernel which I can verify from /proc/ksysms output. How does module gets an address to execute for_each_process? How does symbols in ksyms differs from System.map file ?
