I've found something similar in find_task_by_pid (include/linux/sched.h:553 [linux kernel 2.4.20]
                                                                                                      :562 [linux kernel-2.4.21-rc1])

such function declares pid parameter as integer rather than pid_t.
Wouldn't it be a good idead to whitch to pid_t in this function too?
