[PATCH 0/3] procfs wrt pid namespace cleanups

[PATCH 0/3] procfs wrt pid namespace cleanups

[Daniel Lezcano]

This patchset is a cleanup and a preparation to unshare the pid
namespace. These prerequisite prepare the next Eric's patchset
to give a file descriptor to a namespace and join an existing
namespace.

The initial authors of this patchset are Eric Biederman and Oleg
Nesterov.

Changelog:

        02/14/11 - daniel.lezcano@free.fr
        * patch 2/3 : fix return ENOMEM and put_pid_ns on error
        * removed buggy patch #4 from the initial patchset

        01/31/11 - daniel.lezcano@free.fr:
        * patch 1/4 : wrapped test in a function
        * patch 2/4 : handle proc_pid_ns_prepare_proc error
        * patch 2/4 : put parent pid_ns on error
        * other patches : refreshed against linux-next

[PATCH 1/3] pid: Remove the child_reaper special case in init/main.c

[Daniel Lezcano]

From: Eric W. Biederman <ebiederm-aS9lmoZGLiVWk0Htik3J/w@public.gmane.org>

It turns out that the existing assignment in copy_process of
the child_reaper can handle the initial assignment of child_reaper
we just need to generalize the test in kernel/fork.c

Hmm. probably it was me who confused you... I am sorry if this is true.

I don't think that patch was buggy.  What I meant, it looks like
the preparation for the next changes
(http://kerneltrap.org/mailarchive/linux-kernel/2010/6/20/4585095)
and those changes are not correct.

In fact, 1/3 looks the same.

Anyway, this series looks correct.
