Subject: [PATCH 1/3] pidns: remove now unused kill_proc function
Date: Mon, 09 Jun 2008 18:41:29 +0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <484D4119.1050206@openvz.org> (raw)

This function operated on a pid_t to kill a task, which is
no longer valid in a containerized system.

It has finally lost all its users and we can safely remove 
it from the tree.
