That caller\nthen sees the kthread\u0027s global PID, even though the kthread is not visible\nin its pid namespace, where the value should be 0.\n\nTranslate the PID through the caller\u0027s pid namespace, the same way commit\n3799c2570982 (\"io_uring/fdinfo: translate SqThread PID through caller\u0027s\npid_ns\") did for the io_uring SQPOLL thread. The doit and dumpit paths both\nrun synchronously in the caller\u0027s context, so task_active_pid_ns(current) is\nthe caller\u0027s pid namespace."
