[PATCH] pid: make session_of_pgrp use struct pid instead of pid_t
To properly implement a pid namespace I need to deal exclusively in terms of struct pid, because pid_t values become ambiguous. To this end session_of_pgrp is transformed to take and return a struct pid pointer. To avoid the need to worry about reference counting I now require my caller to hold the appropriate locks. Leaving callers repsonsible for increasing the reference count if they need access to the result outside of the locks. Since session_of_pgrp currently only has one caller and that caller simply uses only test the result for equality with another process group, the locking change means I don't actually have to acquire the tasklist_lock at all. tiocspgrp is also modified to take and release the lock. The logic there is a little more complicated but nothing I won't need when I convert pgrp of a tty to a struct pid pointer. Signed-off-by: Eric W.
