Re: faster way to find task

[loody <miloody@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi all:

2011/7/12 loody <miloody@xxxxxxxxx>

Dear all:

Is there faster way to find a give name of task?

for example, I have a thread, named "test", is there faster way to get the task struct  by passing "test" to some kernel api?

Regards,

I found a way as below:

for_each_process(task) {
printk(“%s[%d]\n”, task->comm, task->pid);

}

But it is time-consuming to do so if I periodically want to know whether "test" exist or not.

is there better way to do so?
