Using syscall would be beter way I know. I was thinking what will happen if I change exit code of a process or/and process state. Will not this work similar? If soo then this is maybe faster method?

Hi

Can I kill process by changing its exit codes in task_struct structure? Lets do this in 2 steps:
1. Modify the exit codes in task_struct
2. Call schedule

I want to do something like kill -9 on specyfic process using kernel module

Thanks
