From c757249af152c59fd74b85e52e8c090acb33d9c0 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Shailabh Nagar Date: Fri, 14 Jul 2006 00:24:40 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] per-task-delay-accounting: taskstats interface Create a "taskstats" interface based on generic netlink (NETLINK_GENERIC family), for getting statistics of tasks and thread groups during their lifetime and when they exit. The interface is intended for use by multiple accounting packages though it is being created in the context of delay accounting. This patch creates the interface without populating the fields of the data that is sent to the user in response to a command or upon the exit of a task. Each accounting package interested in using taskstats has to provide an additional patch to add its stats to the common structure.
