Hi
Currently we never get message from kernel to userspace of type TASKSTATS_TYPE_PID. Otherwise this could have been spotted earlier.
I was trying to add a new taskstat command that would return response of type TASKSTATS_TYPE_PID.
Having the same values would restrict one not to use the same netlink socket for a command that would return response of type TASKSTATS_TYPE_PID and the CGROUPSTATS_CMD_GET command.
Should we fix it by using values after __TASKSTATS_TYPE_MAX.
Changing this now might break pre-built binaries. Or is this intended, and the application is not supposed to use CGROUPSTATS and TASKSTATS on the same socket?
Thanks Nikanth
