Yes. It should be a BUG_ON().

No.

It doesn't need to be special.

| This is wrong.  While a pid namespace is exists we don't free the page
| so you need to loop through all of the pidmap entries and free them.

Yes. I started out doing the opposite of clone_pid_ns(), but you are
right we should free all pidmap entries here.

alloc_pidmap() pages allocates pages if number of concurrent processes
exceed PAGE_SIZE * 8 (32K for 4K pagesize). But free_pidmap() does not
free them when the number of processes drops below 32K again. I guess
that could cause thrashing when number of processes hovers around 32K.

Ok.

fork()/clone() support for pid ns was in a later patch. But we will drop
unshare() of pid ns for now.

| This doesn't quite seem to make sense why the extra intermediate variable?

Will drop ns_all variable.
