Looks like things are ok again in 2.4.19-pre3. That solves my problem. But, I wonder why the API changed so drastically?
Balbir Singh.
In older v2.4 we could directly access current->nice and set it to any value we wanted. This has now been replaced by set_user_nice(). The problem that I face is that task_nice() is not exportted, so my kernel module cannot use it to read the current nice value.
Was there some reason for hiding the nice value from kernel modules?
I have the following solutions
0. I could use the TASK_NICE() macro, but I would like to avoid using it. 1. Export task_nice in ksyms.c 2. Use sys_nice() using a user space disguise.
