Subject: [NETNS]: Fix get_net_ns_by_pid
X-Git-Url: https://git.karo-electronics.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=ceaa79c434044e40031585a65a4e45dc09322e8f;p=linux-beck.git

[NETNS]: Fix get_net_ns_by_pid

The pid namespace patches changed the semantics of
find_task_by_pid without breaking the compile resulting
in get_net_ns_by_pid doing the wrong thing.

So switch to using the intended find_task_by_vpid.

Combined with Denis' earlier patch to make netlink traffic
fully synchronous the inadvertent race I introduced with
accessing current is actually removed.
