For the case where s_fs_info is never allocated this looks correct. That is because generic_shutdown_super has a special for !sb->s_root. However for the existing cases I can't convince myself that it is safe to change the order we free the pid namespace and free fs_info. There is a lot of code that can run while generic_shutdown_super is running and purging all of the inodes. We have crazy things like proc_flush_pid that might care, as well proc_evict_inode. I haven't found anything that actually references fs_info or actually depends on the pid namespace living longer than the proc inode but it would be really easy to miss something. Can you send a v2 version does not change the order things are freed in for the case where we do allocate fs_info. That will make it trivially safe to apply. Otherwise this looks like a very good patch.
