differences in task_struct between 2.4 and 2.6
 

Hello!
I'm kernel beginner..mm
i need to know the differences in task_struct between kernel version 2.4.x and 2.6.x I mean the way of scheduling(sched.h). plz help quickly...ioi...

How about looking at the kernel headers?

lxr.linux.no is a great place to look at things in a bunch of different kernel versions. As Randux said.. just look at the code, the differences should be quite easy to spot.

Linux 2.4.28 task_struct (from lxr.linux.no)

Linux 2.6.11 task_struct (from lxr.linux.no)

And for 2.6.16
http://www.linux-m32r.org/lxr/http/i...;i=task_struct

This link can be used with linux.no : it has newer kernels and more architectures BUT doesn't have older than 2.6.9. Very usefull still.
