"case 0" in free_pid() assumes that disable_pid_allocation() should
clear PIDNS_HASH_ADDING before the last pid goes away.

However this doesn't happen if the first fork() fails to create the
child reaper which should call disable_pid_allocation().

&gt;
&gt; Further debugging showed that every time this happened, zap_pid_ns_processes()
&gt; started with nr_hashed being 3, while we were expecting it to drop to 2.
&gt; Any time it didn't happen, nr_hashed was 1 or 2.  So the reaper was
&gt; waiting for nr_hashed to become 2, but free_pid() only wakes the reaper
&gt; if nr_hashed hits 1.

The issue is that when the task group leader of an init process exits
before other tasks of the init process when the init process finally
exits it will be a secondary task sleeping in zap_pid_ns_processes and
waiting to wake up when the number of hashed pids drops to two.  This
case waits forever as free_pid only sends a wake up when the number of
hashed pids drops to 1.

To correct this the simple strategy of sending a possibly unncessary
wake up when the number of hashed pids drops to 2 is adopted.

Sending one extraneous wake up is relatively harmless, at worst we
waste a little cpu time in the rare case when a pid namespace
appropaches exiting.

We can detect the case when the pid namespace drops to just two pids
hashed race free in free_pid.

Dereferencing pid_ns-&gt;child_reaper with the pidmap_lock held is safe
without out the tasklist_lock because it is guaranteed that the
detach_pid will be called on the child_reaper before it is freed and
detach_pid calls __change_pid which calls free_pid which takes the
pidmap_lock.  __change_pid only calls free_pid if this is the
last use of the pid.  For a thread that is not the thread group leader
the threads pid will only ever have one user because a threads pid
is not allowed to be the pid of a process, of a process group or
a session.  For a thread that is a thread group leader all of
the other threads of that process will be reaped before it is allowed
for the thread group leader to be reaped ensuring there will only
be one user of the threads pid as a process pid.  Furthermore
because the thread is the init process of a pid namespace all of the
other processes in the pid namespace will have also been already freed
leading to the fact that the pid will not be used as a session pid or
a process group pid for any other running process.

<title>kernel/fork.c:copy_process(): don't add the uninitialized child to thread/task/pid lists</title>

copy_process() adds the new child to thread_group/init_task.tasks list and
then does attach_pid(child, PIDTYPE_PID).  This means that the lockless
next_thread() or next_task() can see this thread with the wrong pid.  Say,
"ls /proc/pid/task" can list the same inode twice.

We could move attach_pid(child, PIDTYPE_PID) up, but in this case
find_task_by_vpid() can find the new thread before it was fully
initialized.

And this is already true for PIDTYPE_PGID/PIDTYPE_SID, With this patch
copy_process() initializes child-&gt;pids[*].pid first, then calls
attach_pid() to insert the task into the pid-&gt;tasks list.

attach_pid() no longer need the "struct pid*" argument, it is always
called after pid_link-&gt;pid was already set.

Move BITS_PER_PAGE from pid_namespace.c to pid_namespace.h, since we can
simplify the define PID_MAP_ENTRIES by using the BITS_PER_PAGE.

find_next_offset() searches for an available "cleaned bit" in the
respective pid bitmap (page), so returns the offset if found, otherwise
it returns a value equals to BITS_PER_PAGE.

For example, suppose find_next_offset didn't find any available bit, so
there's no purpose to call mk_pid (Wasteful Cpu Cycles).

Therefore, I found it could be better to call mk_pid after the checking
(offset &lt; BITS_PER_PAGE) returned sucessfully! Another point: If (offset
&lt; BITS_PER_PAGE) results in a "failure", then mk_pid would be called
again afterwards.

<title>hlist: drop the node parameter from iterators</title>

I'm not sure why, but the hlist for each entry iterators were conceived

        list_for_each_entry(pos, head, member)

The hlist ones were greedy and wanted an extra parameter:

        hlist_for_each_entry(tpos, pos, head, member)

Why did they need an extra pos parameter? I'm not quite sure. Not only
they don't really need it, it also prevents the iterator from looking
exactly like the list iterator, which is unfortunate.

Besides the semantic patch, there was some manual work required:

 - Fix up the actual hlist iterators in linux/list.h
 - Fix up the declaration of other iterators based on the hlist ones.
 - A very small amount of places were using the 'node' parameter, this
 was modified to use 'obj-&gt;member' instead.
 - Coccinelle didn't handle the hlist_for_each_entry_safe iterator
 properly, so those had to be fixed up manually.

The semantic patch which is mostly the work of Peter Senna Tschudin is here:
