I believe the patrch is correct.

But... Cyrill, I am wondering how much will you hate me if I make
yet another attempt to delay this patch.

For what??

This is what we need, right? So can't we remove this "task_struct *task"
and simply do

		iter->pid_start = get_ppid(proc_pid(inode));

?

And while this is absolutely cosmetic probably ->parent_pid is
a bit better name, but this is up to you.
