Subject[PATCH 03/12] pid: get ppid pid_t of task in init_pid_ns safely
Date
Added the functions
task_ppid()
task_ppid_nr_ns()
task_ppid_nr_init_ns()
to safely abstract the lookup of the PPID (real_parent's tgid) of a process,
including rcu locking, in any required pid namespace. This provides an
alternative to sys_getppid(), which is relative to the child process' pid
namespace.
