Why current->uid is not working in 2.6.29 ?

Hello everyone,

I am new to kernel module programming and got some problem while compiling some old kernel code.

The
code is trying to get user id using current->uid,   but it is not
working by reminding me 'task_struct; doesn't contain field uid '. 

I checked the linux source code , uid is not there any more.

The 'current' is of task_struct, so could anyone tell me where is the new place for that uid ?


Thanks in advance,

-Kun
