[PATCH][INFINIBAND]: Make ipath_portdata work with struct pid * notpid_t.

From: Pavel Emelyanov
Date: Mon May 12 2008 - 10:47:38 EST


The official reason is "with the presence of pid namespaces in the
kernel using pid_t-s inside one is no longer safe".

But the reason I fix exactly the infiniband right now is the following.

About a month ago (when the 2.6.25 was not yet released) there still
was a one last caller of a to-be-deprecated-soon function find_pid() -
the kill_proc() function, which in turn was only used by nfs callback
code.

During the last merge window, this last caller was finally eliminated
by some NFS patch(es) and I was about to finally kill this kill_proc()
and find_pid(), but found, that I was late and the kill_proc is now
called from the infiniband driver (commit 58411d1c).

So here's the patch, that turns this code to use struct pid * and (!)
the kill_pid routine. If it is possible to have this one in 2.6.26, I
would appreciate this A LOT and be able to close one more hole in pid
namespaces.
