Hello,
 
The process table structure under Minix is visible under
kernel (proc.h), mm (mproc.h), and fs (fproc.h). Say one
wants to add a new field to processtable entries (eg. to keep
track of a process's priority). The logical place is in
kernel/proc.h. Would it also work if it was added to in process
table entries in mm or fs? That is a new field added to mproc
struct in mm/mproc.h be visible to kernel tasks too?
 
Any ideas?
