[PATCH 4/4] pid: change task_state() to use task_ppid_nr_ns()

From: Oleg Nesterov
Date: Sun Aug 10 2025 - 13:38:01 EST


to simplify the code.

Note that only tpid and max_fds really need rcu_read_lock(), we could move
task_ppid_nr_ns/task_tgid_nr_ns/task_numa_group_id/get_task_cred outside of
rcu read section.
