Hmm. And another minor problem, unless I missed something.

Once again, the parent namespace injects the task T after ns->reaper
sees nr_hashed == 1 and returns. Suppose that reaper's parent does
do_wait() and free_pidmap() clears the bit == 1.

Now, what if T doesn't exit but forks? We must not re-create the
task with pid_nr == 1 in the dead namespace. Normally this can't
happen, RESERVED_PIDS logic in alloc_pidmap() saves us. But it
seems that we need

- .extra1 = &zero,
+ .extra1 = &one,

in pid_ns_ctl_table.

Oleg.
