Subject: [PATCH] proc: give the root directory a task
X-Git-Url: https://git.stricted.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=f6c7a1f34e92b0b561024ead9fa70623683025e4;p=GitHub%2FLineageOS%2Fandroid_kernel_motorola_exynos9610.git

[PATCH] proc: give the root directory a task

Helper functions in base.c like proc_pident_readdir and proc_pident_lookup
assume the directories have an associated task, and cannot currently be used
on the /proc root directory because it does not have such a task.

This small changes allows for base.c to be simplified and later when multiple
pid spaces are introduced it makes getting the needed context information
trivial.
