From 4a761b8c1d7a3a4ee7ccf92ce255d986f601e067 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Pavel Emelyanov Date: Fri, 18 Apr 2008 13:30:15 -0700 Subject: [patch 2/2] Use find_task_by_vpid in audit code The pid to lookup a task by is passed inside audit code via netlink message. Thanks to Denis Lunev, netlink packets are now (since 2.6.24) _always_ processed in the context of the sending task. So this is correct to lookup the task with find_task_by_vpid() here.
