Hi Oleg,

Gargi and I are looking at that code, and trying to figure out
exactly what needs to be done to make all of this correct.

We are thinking something along these lines:

1) First, check if this is a new namespace (PIDNS_ADDING), and
   do the call to pid_ns_prepare_proc, before we even call idr_alloc.
   Maybe something like:

   if (unlikely(ns->nr_allocated == PIDNS_ADDING)) {
      if (pid_ns_prepare_proc(ns)) {
         disable_pid_allocations(ns);
         goto out_free_ns;
   }

2) With pid_ns_prepare_proc out of the way, we can put all the code
   from below where the call to pid_ns_prepare_proc is now (except
   error handing) into the main loop of pid allocation, so we can
   do all that stuff under the pidmap_lock:

   for (i = ns->level; i >= 0; i--) {
       ...
       idr_alloc_cyclic(...)
       get_pid_ns(ns);
       atomic_set(&pid->count, 1);
       for (...)
            INIT_HLIST_HEAD(...)
       ns->nr_allocated++;
       ...
  }

Would that resolve your objection, or are we barking up the wrong tree?
