From dbda0de52618d13d1b927c7ba7bb839cfddc4e8c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Pavel Emelyanov Date: Fri, 25 Jul 2008 01:48:37 -0700 Subject: pidns: remove find_task_by_pid, unused for a long time It seems to me that it was a mistake marking this function as deprecated and scheduling it for removal, rather than resolutely removing it after the last caller's death. Anyway - better late, then never. Signed-off-by: Pavel Emelyanov Cc: Oleg Nesterov Cc: "Eric W.
