pid: Extend/Fix pid_vnr
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
pid_vnr returns the user space pid with respect to the pid namespace the
struct pid was allocated in.  What we want before we return a pid to user
space is the user space pid with respect to the pid namespace of current.

pid_vnr is a very nice optimization but because it isn't quite what we want
it is easy to use pid_vnr at times when we aren't certain the struct pid
was allocated in our pid namespace.

Currently this describes at least tiocgpgrp and tiocgsid in ttyio.c the
parent process reported in the core dumps and the parent process in
get_signal_to_deliver.

So unless the performance impact is huge having an interface that does what
we want instead of always what we want should be much more reliable and
much less error prone.
