[PATCH 1/2] Revert "pid: make __task_pid_nr_ns(ns => NULL) safe for zombie callers"
Posted by Oleg Nesterov 3 months, 3 weeks ago
This reverts commit abdfd4948e45c51b19162cf8b3f5003f8f53c9b9.

The changelog in this commit explains why it is not easy to avoid ns == NULL
when the caller is exiting, but pid_vnr() is equally unsafe in this case.

However, commit 006568ab4c5c ("pid: Add a judgment for ns null in pid_nr_ns")
already added the ns != NULL check in pid_nr_ns(), so we can remove the same
check from __task_pid_nr_ns().
