The patch titled pids: clean up find_task_by_pid variants has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was pids-clean-up-find_task_by_pid-variants.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: pids: clean up find_task_by_pid variants From: Christoph Hellwig <hch@xxxxxx> find_task_by_pid_type_ns is only used to implement find_task_by_vpid and find_task_by_pid_ns, but both of them pass PIDTYPE_PID as first argument. So just fold find_task_by_pid_type_ns into find_task_by_pid_ns and use find_task_by_pid_ns to implement find_task_by_vpid. While we're at it also remove the exports for find_task_by_pid_ns and find_task_by_vpid - we don't have any modular callers left as the only modular caller of he old pre pid namespace find_task_by_pid (gfs2) was switched to pid_task which operates on a struct pid pointer instead of a pid_t. Given the confusion about pid_t values vs namespace that's generally the better option anyway and I think we're better of restricting modules to do it that way.
