Use find_task_by_vpid in posix timers All the functions that need to lookup a task by pid in posix timers obtain this pid from a user space, and thus this value refers to a task in the same namespace, as the current task lives in. So the proper behavior is to call find_task_by_vpid() here. Signed-off-by: Pavel Emelyanov <xemul@openvz.org> Cc: "Eric W.
