Hello All,

I am writing a kernel module and I wanted to know which data structure backs up the /proc/self or how do I get the process id of my call and number of it's threads from within the kernel?

You can get the process id of the current context using the directive "current->pid". The macro "current" refers to the current task struct, so it should also be possible to get the number of threads. Philipp
