But, if lufs is broken due to the lack of the "kill_proc_info" symbol being available, perhaps I will just remove lufs and find another way (or wait until there is some kind of patch for lufs).

After building 2.6.10-rc1, i was unable to load my "lufs" module due to an unknown symbol error (kill_proc_info). When I examined the 2.6.10-rc1 patch, I noticed that "EXPORT_SYMBOL(kill_proc_info);" was removed from signal.c. With the following patch, I was able to resolve my problem, but I am not sure if this is the correct method. Is there a reason why the kill_proc_info symbol is no longer exported?
Because it's not an API you should be using.
Is there an alternative?
Maybe you could explain what you're actually trying to do at a higher
level first.
