170 | When: August 2006 | ||
171 | Files: kernel/fork.c | ||
172 | Why: tasklist_lock protects the kernel internal task list. Modules have | ||
173 | no business looking at it, and all instances in drivers have been due | ||
174 | to use of too-lowlevel APIs. Having this symbol exported prevents | ||
175 | moving to more scalable locking schemes for the task list. | ||
