From 8dc86af00612e5ccff3384c17575362a3f2a2ca0 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Pavel Emelyanov Date: Fri, 8 Feb 2008 04:21:52 -0800 Subject: Use find_task_by_vpid in posix timers All the functions that need to lookup a task by pid in posix timers obtain this pid from a user space, and thus this value refers to a task in the same namespace, as the current task lives in. So the proper behavior is to call find_task_by_vpid() here. Signed-off-by: Pavel Emelyanov Cc: "Eric W.
