| OK, well I had to make a bit of on-the-fly adjustment to
| pid-namespaces-rename-child_reaper-function.patch as well.

| Hopefully people can re-review and retest what's there in next -mm.
|
| Or if that's too much work or too risky, option b) is to drop
| handle-the-multi-threaded-inits-exit-properly.patch, go back to the
| 2.6.23-rc1-mm2 versions of
| pid-namespaces-define-and-use-task_active_pid_ns-wrapper.patch and
| pid-namespaces-rename-child_reaper-function.patch and to ask Oleg to cook a 2.6.23-rc1-mm2 version of handle-the-multi-threaded-inits-exit-properly.patch.
|
| The downside of this approach is that
| handle-the-multi-threaded-inits-exit-properly.patch looks more 2.6.24-ready
| than all the container stuff (based just on overall impact and
| speculativeness)

Well, if it will help, we can drop these two patches from -mm, take Oleg's
patch and I can then resend these along with other pid ns patches.

pid-namespaces-define-and-use-task_active_pid_ns-wrapper.patch.
pid-namespaces-rename-child_reaper-function.patch
