linux-kernel: [PATCH 51/59] CRED: Wrap task credential accesses

[PATCH 51/59] CRED: Wrap task credential accesses in the IPv6 protocol

From: David Howells <dhowells_at_nospam>
Date: Wed Aug 27 2008 - 13:50:05 GMT
To: linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org


Wrap access to task credentials so that they can be separated more easily from the task_struct during the introduction of COW creds.

Change most current->(|e|s|fs)[ug]id to current_(|e|s|fs)[ug]id().

Change some task->e?[ug]id to task_e?[ug]id(). In some places it makes more sense to use RCU directly rather than a convenient wrapper; these will be addressed by later patches.
