Hi,

(for learning purposes) I would like to iterate through all the tasks in a module and output different information about them. For this task I need to lock the list of all tasks (need I?). I've seen some example in the kernel code which lock tasklist_lock. However this symbol cannot be used by modules. Its export was removed by c59923a15c12d2b3597af913bf234a0ef264a38b commit.

Is there any other way I can lock the list of tasks then?

Don't do such a foolish thing? :) Seriously, don't make your code a module, just build it into the kernel. greg k-h
