141 | What: find_task_by_pid | ||
142 | When: 2.6.26 | ||
143 | Why: 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. | ||
