Sorry, that's a no go. That's some very, very old kernel. Do not develop on old kernels, but on mainline. I also suspect that by basing your work on old kernel, you duplicate a lot of issues already fixed. > There are some difference in return val between __ffs() and ffs64(). > __ffs(0) and ffs64(0) will give different value. __ffs64 calls __ffs, so why would results be different?

Why would that matter? target is task_struct. It's size does not matter. Maybe its offset matters, but not size. 2.
