| |
Hi,
I'm writing a kernel module that needs to keep track of a pointer to some custom module information for every task in the system. Basically I want to add another member to task_struct but I don't want to have to recompile the kernel to do it.
Unlike "struct file", there doesn't seem to be any private_data pointer in task_struct that I could use. I've come up with a couple nasty kludges to accomplish this but I'm hoping for a more sain solution.
The other option would be to maintain the information in an ADT that parallels task_struct, but I really want to be able to access the information in constant time if at all possible.
Thanks, Michael
