[RFC][patch 09/21] PID Virtualization: define vpid_to_pid functions

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Introduce the reverse conversion functions namely from the 
user virtual pid to the kernel pid.
Again, we only specify the API here, will utilize the API 
at the appropriate locations in subsequent patches and finally
will provide a real implementation for the virtualization
behind these functions together with the pid_to_vpid conversion.
Any pid passed through the syscall interface from userspace
is virtual and therefore must pass through this conversion 
before it can be used as a kernel pid.
