The patch titled smbfs: Make conn_pid a struct pid has been added to the -mm tree. Its filename is smbfs-make-conn_pid-a-struct-pid.patch See http://www.zip.com.au/~akpm/linux/patches/stuff/added-to-mm.txt to find out what to do about this ------------------------------------------------------ Subject: smbfs: Make conn_pid a struct pid From: Eric W. Biederman <ebiederm@xxxxxxxxxxxx> smbfs keeps track of the user space server process in conn_pid. This converts that track to use a struct pid instead of pid_t. This keeps us safe from pid wrap around issues and prepares the way for the pid namespace. Signed-off-by: Eric W.
