Yep. The hard part was actually moving the code into proc_get_sb :)

This is flat out wrong. We need to get the pid_namespace from
task if we get it from anywhere. In reality we most likely
need to derive it from struct pid.
Can you leave the access to proc_mnt as init_pid_ns.proc_mnt for now?
And otherwise leave off addressing this case until we have gotten
the structure into the hash table to support multiple pid namespaces?

The comment about doing this earlier no longer applies as you are
removing the proc kern_mount.

Because of the other tests and the fact that we just allocated the
root inode that ei->pid is NULL so the test is simply confusing.
To make our lives easier can we also do:
s->s_fs_info = data; /* The pid_namespace for this filesystem */

I don't know why the generic code in the super.c likes to do
this outside of the set method in sget but it doesn't make any
sense to me.
It looks to me like if we leave off creating fill_if_new_sb.
Create a tailored set set_proc_super method for proc the code
will be simpler and with less error handling.
Basically we will either get a setup superblock back from sget
or we don't get one.
static int proc_test_sb(struct super_block *s, void *data)
{
struct pid_namespace *pid_ns = p;
return s->s_fs_info == data;
}
static int proc_set_sb(struct super_block *s, void *data)
{
int ret;
ret = set_anon_super(s, NULL);
if (!ret)
ret = proc_fill_super(s, data, 0);
return ret;
}
static int proc_get_sb(struct file_system_type *fs_type,
int flags, const char *dev_name, void *data, struct vfsmount *mnt)
{
struct super_block *s;
s = sget(fs_type, proc_test_sb, proc_set_sb, current->nsproxy->pid_ns);
if (IS_ERR(s))
return PTR_ERR(s);
do_remount_sb(s, flags, data, 0);
return return simple_set_mnt(mnt, s);
}

And with my other suggestions we don't wind up needing this.
