The patch titled
Use find_task_by_vpid in audit code
has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was
use-find_task_by_vpid-in-audit-code.patch
This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree
The current -mm tree may be found at http://userweb.kernel.org/~akpm/mmotm/
------------------------------------------------------
Subject: Use find_task_by_vpid in audit code
From: Pavel Emelyanov <xemul@xxxxxxxxxx>
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.
