Yes, agreed. We can't rely on PF_EXITING/whatever, we need the explicit
flag.

1/2 looks fine too. Only one nit about init_pid_ns below...

I won't insist, but perhaps if "(!(nr_hashed & PIDNS_HASH_ADDING))"
looks more understandable.

Do we really need this check? It seems that PIDNS_HASH_ADDING
bit must be always set when disable_pid_allocation() is called.

Anyway, nr_hashed &= ~PIDNS_HASH_ADDING looks simpler and doesn't
need a check.

But again, I won't insist this is minor and subjective.

The obly chunk which doesn't look exactly correct to me, although this
doesn't really matter. Hmm, actually the code was already wrong before
this patch.

I think init_pid_ns.nr_hashed should be PIDNS_HASH_ADDING, we should not
add 1 to account the unused zero pid, and kernel_thread(kernel_init) was
not called yet.

Oleg.
