Subject: [PATCH] netns: Fix get_net_ns_by_pid
Date: Fri, 26 Oct 2007 17:29:41 -0600	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <m1ve8twj2y.fsf@ebiederm.dsl.xmission.com> (raw)


The pid namespace patches changed the semantics of
find_task_by_pid without breaking the compile resulting
in get_net_ns_by_pid doing the wrong thing.

So switch to using the intended find_task_by_vpid.

Combined with Denis' earlier patch to make netlink traffic
fully synchronous the inadvertent race I introduced with
accessing current is actually removed.
