Apologies for my newbie question. I couldn't help but notice all these function calls are assuming that the parameter struct pid_namespace *pid_ns will never be NULL.  Is that a good assumption?

I don't have the background in this code to answer on my own, but I thought I'd raise the question.

Thanks,
Jay
