Hi,
I am facing a problem with the pid namespace when I launch the following lxc commands:
lxc-execute -n foo sleep 3600 & ls -al /proc/$(pidof lxc-init)/exe && lxc-stop -n foo
All the processes related to the container are killed, but there is still a refcount on the pid_namespace which is never released. That can be verified in /proc/slabinfo. Running a test suite with thousand of tests quickly exhaust the memory and the oom killer is triggered.
Reproduced with a 2.6.31 vanilla kernel on i686 and x86_64 architecture.
Thanks -- Daniel
