Subject: [patch 2/3] kallsyms: Add in_gate_area_no_task()
Date: Sun, 28 Nov 2004 14:55:15 +1100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <19457.1101614115@ocs3.ocs.com.au> (raw)
In-Reply-To: Your message of "Sun, 28 Nov 2004 14:38:47 +1100." <28912.1101613127@ocs3.ocs.com.au>

Add in_gate_area_no_task() for use in places where no task is valid
(e.g. kallsyms).  If you have a valid task, use in_gate_area() as
before.
