[LI] struct task

[sudheer@xxxxxxxxxxxxx]

*Please pardon me if it's off topic

Hi,

We know that in unix for copying back and forth between kernel
and user space, we use "struct user" defined in sys/user.h. There we get
the base offset for IO.

Could anyone please tell me what's it's analogous struct in Linux.
Is it "struct task". Though i'm trying i don't get the complete idea
of what's happening. I don't understand from where it get's the offset
for IO operation. 

Any pointers on this is highly appreciated. where can i find the relevant 
code in source tree.
