[PATCH 0/16] Pid namespaces

[Pavel Emelianov]

> My x86_64 system boots fine but crashes as below, when I run my
> 'pidns_exec' test with a simple program that prints getpid(), getppid()
> etc of the process in the child pid ns.

> and execs the given program (it was included in Patch 0 of the patchset I
> posted to Containers).

Here's the patch fixing the problem. So, Suka, I propose that you review
my patches, point out things that you don't like and would like to see
your code instead. After all I will re-split the set with your fixes, mark
some patches with your From: and send them to Andrew. What do you think?
