Hi,


i meant to say the tasklist_lock is a rw spinlock. All spinlock
functions/macros are is defined in <linux/spinlock.h>. And it is
already included by <linux/sched.h>.


tasklist_lock is not exported anymore and can be used only by
inbuilt drivers (which also probably will change). I guess, you a
re not supposed to walk a process list for any purpose..

Anand


you shouldn't be getting that error if you have included it. can you
tell show the code?

regards
Manish Regmi
