[PATCH net v3 1/2] pid: Introduce helper task_is_in_init_pid_ns()

From: Leo Yan <hidden>
Date: 2022-01-26 05:04:51
Also in: lkml
Subsystem: the rest · Maintainer: Linus Torvalds

Currently the kernel uses open code in multiple places to check if a
task is in the root PID namespace with the kind of format:

  if (task_active_pid_ns(current) == &init_pid_ns)
      do_something();

This patch creates a new helper function, task_is_in_init_pid_ns(), it
returns true if a passed task is in the root PID namespace, otherwise
returns false.  So it will be used to replace open codes.
