Yep, indeed.

Yeah, I don't think that can be the case. By looking at the source of
'pid_nr_ns(pid, ns)' a non-zero return means that a) 'pid' valid, ie.
non-null and b) 'ns' is in the pid namespace hierarchy of 'pid' (at
pid->level, i.e. "pid->numbers[ns->level].ns == ns").

Thanks! I slightly re-worked it, with the reasoning above in mind, to
get rid of one of the branches:

+#ifdef CONFIG_PID_NS
+	seq_put_decimal_ull(m, "\nNSpid:\t", nr);
+	if (nr) {
+		int i;
+
+		/* If nr is non-zero it means that 'pid' is valid and that
+		 * ns, i.e. the pid namespace associated with the procfs
+		 * instance, is in the pid namespace hierarchy of pid.
+		 * Start at one level below and print all descending pids.
+		 */
+		for (i = ns->level + 1; i <= pid->level; i++) {
+			ns = pid->numbers[i].ns;
+			seq_put_decimal_ull(m, "\t", pid_nr_ns(pid, ns));
+		}
+	}
+#endif

But I now just realized that with the very same reasoning, if nr is
non-zero, we don't need to redo all the checks and can just do:

for (i = ns->level + 1; i <= pid->level; i++)
	seq_put_decimal_ull(m, "\t", pid->numbers[i].nr);

If this sounds good to you I resend the patches with the change above.

Thanks,
Christian
