Hi,
It seems that we don't understand each other.
If we move atomic_dec_and_test(signal->live) and do
if (group_dead && is_global_init)
panic(...);
before setting PF_EXITING like your patch does, then zap_pid_ns_processes()
simply won't be called.

No, there is at least one alive init thread. If they all have exited, we have
the thread which calls panic() above.

so we don't need the SIGNAL_GROUP_EXIT check to avoid this BUG().
What have I missed?
