The patch titled
Use find_task_by_vpid in posix timers
has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was
use-find_task_by_vpid-in-posix-timers.patch
This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree
The current -mm tree may be found at http://userweb.kernel.org/~akpm/mmotm/

Subject: Use find_task_by_vpid in posix timers
From: Pavel Emelyanov <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
All the functions that need to lookup a task by pid in posix timers obtain
this pid from a user space, and thus this value refers to a task in the same
namespace, as the current task lives in.
So the proper behavior is to call find_task_by_vpid() here.
