I'm fine with the patch, but the change log can use a bit of work:

  comm_write() {
	p = get_proc_task(inode);
	if (!p)
		return -ESRCH;

	if (same_thread_group(current, p)) {
		set_task_comm(p, buffer);

  where set_task_comm() calls __set_task_comm() which records the update of
  p and not current.

The above states exactly why current isn't the pid that should be recorded.

Other than that.
