I think you misunderstood - vgetcpu is for userland usage, not within
the kernel.

I did understand it as a user land stuff.
This is why I want to map the current task structure into the user space.
In user code, we could see the actual value of the "current->thread_info.cpu".
My "#define current ((struct task_struct *) 0x...)" is not the same as
the kernel's one.

Thanks,

Zoltan
