Why? We have the only caller, copy_process(), ns == task_active_pid_ns()
always.

task_active_pid_ns() by newly created task, not the current! That's why
we need to pass something to alloc_pid() to find this new namespace.
Task or namespace itself - is the matter of choice - I selected the
most obvious argument :)

 {
 	struct pid *pid;
 	enum pid_type type;
-	int nr = -1;
-	struct pid_namespace *ns;
+	int i, nr;
+	struct pid_namespace *tmp;
- ns = task_active_pid_ns(current);
 	pid = kmem_cache_alloc(ns->pid_cachep, GFP_KERNEL);
 	if (!pid)
 		goto out;
- nr = alloc_pidmap(ns);
-	if (nr < 0)
-		goto out_free;
+	tmp = ns;
+	for (i = ns->level; i >= 0; i--) {
+		nr = alloc_pidmap(tmp);
+		if (nr < 0)
+			goto out_free;
+
+		pid->numbers[i].nr = nr;
+		pid->numbers[i].ns = tmp;
+		tmp = tmp->parent;

Hm... There is no ->parent in "struct pid_namespace", and this
patch doesn't add it.

Parent is added in another patch - 12/15. I will split it better
when sending to Andrew - patches will be smaller and bisect-safe.

+	if (ns != &init_pid_ns)
+		get_pid_ns(ns);

Q: put_pid() checks "ns != &init_pid_ns" as well, this is just
an optimization, yes? Perhaps we can move this check into

It is :)

get_pid_ns/put_pid_ns.

I think you're right.

We are doing get_pid_ns() only for the "top namespace"... I guess
this can work if pid_namespace does get_pid_ns() on its ->parent.
This patch looks incomplete.

Yes. This set is not well split, sorry. I wanted to get comments about the
approach, bugs, etc (I have already mentioned this in another letter...)

Oleg.



Thanks,
Pavel.
