Linux Kernel Module skipping over loop?

I have this chunk of code for a linux kernel module:

#include <linux/module.h>  #include <linux/kernel.h>       #include <linux/sched.h>  #include <linux/init_task.h>#include <linux/list.h>struct task_struct *initTask = &init_task;struct task_struct *type;int init_module(void){    int process_count = 0;    printk("Hello, Jared Rathbun\n");    /* Print the init process */    printk("Init Process\n");    printk(KERN_INFO "Name: %-20s| PID: %-5d| State: %-5ld| Priority: %-5d| Policy: %-5d| Recent CPU: %-5d| Parent Name: %-20s| PPID: %-5d\n", initTask->comm, initTask->pid, initTask->state,         initTask->prio, initTask->policy, initTask->recent_used_cpu, initTask->parent->comm, initTask->parent->pid);    static LIST_HEAD(task_list_head);    /* Traverse the Linked List of processes */    list_for_each_entry(type, &task_list_head, tasks)    {                   printk("inside loop");        process_count++;        printk(KERN_INFO "Name: %-20s| PID: %-5d| State: %-4ld| Priority: %-5d| Policy: %-5d| Recent CPU: %-5d| Parent Name: %-20s| PPID: %-5d\n", type->comm, type->pid, type->state,             type->prio, type->policy, type->recent_used_cpu, type->parent->comm, type->parent->pid);    }     /* Print the current process */    printk("Current Process\n");    printk(KERN_INFO "Name: %-20s| PID: %-5d| State: %-5ld| Priority: %-5d| Policy: %-5d| Recent CPU: %-5d| Parent Name: %-20s| PPID: %-5d\n", current->comm, current->pid, current->state,         current->prio, current->policy, current->recent_used_cpu, current->parent->comm, current->parent->pid);    printk(KERN_INFO "TOTAL PROCESS COUNT: %d\n", process_count);    return 0;}void cleanup_module( void ){    return;}MODULE_LICENSE("GPL");MODULE_DESCRIPTION("Kernel Module that traverse the list of running processes on the OS");MODULE_AUTHOR("JR");

When I insert this using insmod, the kernel does not execute these lines of code, as if it just skips it like a condition isn't true. Has anyone seen this before?

Thanks in advance!
