Sorry, didn't notice this part...

Which races? I am talking about the current problems with pid_ns_release_proc(),
we have at least 3 bugs, from the 2/2 changelog:

	- Nobody does mntput() if copy_process() fails after
	  pid_ns_prepare_proc().

	- proc_flush_task() checks upid->nr == 1 to verify we are init,
	  this is wrong if a multi-threaded init does exec.

	- As Louis pointed out, this namespace can have the detached
	  EXIT_DEAD tasks which can use ns->proc_mnt after this mntput().

Oleg.
