Hmm, I almost agreed, but have a question :-)
Yes, we know that the container-init is exiting. But if its parent (in the parent ns) waits on it and calls release_task(), won't we call proc_flush_task_mnt() on this container-init ? This would happen after dropping the mnt in zap_pid_ns_processes() no ?
At the time zap_pid_ns_processes() is called, the container-init is still not in EXIT_ZOMBIE state right ? (Or does your statement below include EXIT_DEAD and EXIT_ZOMBIE tasks ?)
