Hi all,

I have tried the following

current->pid and current->comm to get the process ID and name of
process from kernel module

but what it is giving me is Binder Thread and an id which is not the
same when I check it against the pid and name by doing 'ps' from adb
shell.

Any idea why I am getting Binder Thread as my process name? When it
should be the actual process's name. How to get the correct PID and
name?

Thanks in Advance,
Perumal
