One way to enumerate the sleeping threads is iterating all threads in the system, and check their states. proc.h contains two macros: FOREACH_PROC_IN_SYSTEM FOREACH_THREAD_IN_PROC To access thread state, you should use thread lock, call thread_lock() and thread_unlock(). thread lock is not fixed, it might be sleep-queue's spinlock or per-cpu runqueue lock, there even is a blocked spin-lock for intermediate state change. > Thank you. > The problem is that I want to avoid using proc.h in this. I'm considering adding a function to subr_sleepqueue.c to export the data structures, or at least export a PID list. The reason why I am doing it this way is security related. _______________________________________________ freebsd-hackers@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-hackers To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-hackers-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
