Subject: [PATCH 3/3] cxlflash: Derive pid through accessors

From: Uma Krishnan <[email-masked]>
Date: Wed, 25 Oct 2017 16:36:29 -0500

From: "Matthew R. Ochs" <[email-masked]>

The cxlflash driver tracks process IDs alongside contexts to validate
context ownership. Currently, the process IDs are derived by directly
accessing values from the 'current' task pointer. While this method
of access is fine for the current process, it is incorrect when the
parent process ID is needed as the access requires serialization.

To address the incorrect issue and provide a consistent means of
deriving the process ID within the cxlflash driver, use the task
accessors defined linux/sched.h.
