141What: find_task_by_pid
142When: 2.6.26
143Why: With pid namespaces, calling this funciton will return the
144 wrong task when called from inside a namespace.
145
146 The best way to save a task pid and find a task by this
147 pid later, is to find this task's struct pid pointer (or get
148 it directly from the task) and call pid_task() later.
149
150 If someone really needs to get a task by its pid_t, then
151 he most likely needs the find_task_by_vpid() to get the
152 task from the same namespace as the current task is in, but
153 this may be not so in general.
