The document summarizes the key fields in the task_struct structure in the Linux kernel. This structure contains process/thread-specific data such as the process state, scheduling priority, CPU affinity, memory management information, open file descriptors, signals, and other process credentials and bookkeeping data. It links processes together in a parent-child relationship and process lists, and protects process resources with spinlocks.
