[ Upstream commit abdfd4948e45c51b19162cf8b3f5003f8f53c9b9 ]
task_pid_vnr(another_task) will crash if the caller was already reaped. The pid_alive(current) check can't really help, the parent/debugger can call release_task() right after this check.
This also means that even task_ppid_nr_ns(current, NULL) is not safe, pid_alive() only ensures that it is safe to dereference ->real_parent.
Change __task_pid_nr_ns() to ensure ns != NULL.
