How? You can't simply change ->nsproxy this way.

If nothing else this breaks sys_getpid(), no?

And a lot more problems, afaics. For example, this thread can continue
to run after, say, this cprocess->nsproxy->pid_ns was already destroyed.
zap_pid_ns_processes() obviously won't see this thread.

Even ->nsproxy itself can go away. Just suppose that the coredumping
task is the only process in this namespace (sub-init).

Oleg.
