-When:  Soon, provided in-kernel callers have been converted

+What:  find_task_by_pid
+When:  2.6.26
+Why:   With pid namespaces, calling this funciton will return the
+       wrong task when called from inside a namespace.
+
+       The best way to save a task pid and find a task by this
+       pid later, is to find this task's struct pid pointer (or get
+       it directly from the task) and call pid_task() later.
+
+       If someone really needs to get a task by its pid_t, then
+       he most likely needs the find_task_by_vpid() to get the
+       task from the same namespace as the current task is in, but
+       this may be not so in general.
