Actually, it appears there is no way to find any task structure except for current! Is this some kind of lame security thing?
We can always use current->next_task to traverse the linked list of all tasks, but this appears as a hack to me. The problem with find_task_by_pid() is that it is inline, great for efficiency, uncompileable in a module since htable isn't exported.
Is this really the situation?
