System, method, and computer program product for terminating a hidden kernel process
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method, comprising:
- inserting, by one or more processors, a hidden kernel process structure into an active process list by pointing a backward link of a pointer representing the active process list to a forward link of an active process links structure of the hidden kernel process structure;
synchronizing, by the one or more processors, memory operations to preserve state during the inserting of the hidden kernel process structure; and
terminating, by the one or more processors, a hidden kernel process associated with the hidden kernel process structure.

Abstract
A system, method, and computer program product are provided for terminating a hidden kernel process. In use, a hidden kernel process structure associated with a hidden kernel process is identified. In addition, the hidden kernel process structure is inserted into an active process list. Further, the hidden kernel process is terminated.
