The patch titled pid: add do_each_pid_task has been added to the -mm tree. Its filename is pid-add-do_each_pid_task.patch See http://www.zip.com.au/~akpm/linux/patches/stuff/added-to-mm.txt to find out what to do about this ------------------------------------------------------ Subject: pid: add do_each_pid_task From: "Eric W. Biederman" <ebiederm@xxxxxxxxxxxx> To avoid pid rollover confusion the kernel needs to work with struct pid * instead of pid_t. Currently there is not an iterator that walks through all of the tasks of a given pid type starting with a struct pid. This prevents us replacing some pid_t instances with struct pid. So this patch adds do_each_pid_task which walks through the set of task for a given pid type starting with a struct pid. Signed-off-by: Eric W.
