Subject: pids: improve get_task_pid() to fix the unsafe sys_wait4()->task_pgrp()
X-Git-Tag: v2.6.30-rc1~311
X-Git-Url: https://openfabrics.org/gitweb/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=2ae448efc87df6d328f5835969076c7f9fce59c3;p=~shefty%2Frdma-dev.git

pids: improve get_task_pid() to fix the unsafe sys_wait4()->task_pgrp()

sys_wait4() does get_pid(task_pgrp(current)), this is not safe.  We can
add rcu lock/unlock around, but we already have get_task_pid() which can
be improved to handle the special pids in more reliable manner.
