Processes' kernel stack

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

 



Hi,

I was reading the chapter of process Management in the book Linux Kernel Development and I see many references of "process's kernel stack". AFAIK, processes don't have stack in the kernel, there is one global stack. However, each process have their thread_info structure at the end of this unique kernel stack. More confusing, there is a "stack" attribute in the task_struct structure who seems to point to the thread_info structure. Did someone can tell me if I'm wrong/right about all that?

Thanks
