Oleg, Evgeniy,

just in case the discussion concludes that my patch is fine,
here is a fixed version.

[PATCH] connector: Fix sid connector

The sid connector gives the following warning:
Badness at kernel/softirq.c:143
[...]
Call Trace:

 [<00000041616cb266>] 0x41616cb266

The warning is
--->    WARN_ON_ONCE(in_irq() || irqs_disabled());

The network code must not be called with disabled interrupts but
sys_setsid holds the tasklist_lock with spinlock_irq while calling
the connector. We can safely move proc_sid_connector from
__set_special_pids to sys_setsid.

I'd suggest you to resend this patch to Andrew. Unless you know
another way to push it into Linus's tree ;)

Perhaps it makes sense to update the changelog, it should mention
the issues with daemonize().

Oleg.
