[PATCH 2/4] procfs: kill the global proc_mnt variable
After the previous cleanup in proc_get_sb() the global proc_mnt has no reasons to exists, kill it.

[PATCH 0/4] pid_ns_prepare_proc/unshare cleanups
On 06/18, Oleg Nesterov wrote: I only try to discuss the idea to break the circular reference. I don't know what I have missed, but this looks really right to me. Besides, we have yet another problem: proc_flush_task()->mntput() is just wrong. Consider the multithreaded execing init. I am going to simplif... 19 Jun 2010 15:40

[PATCH 3/4] procfs: move pid_ns_prepare_proc() from copy_process() to create_pid_namespace()
Imho, pid_ns_prepare_proc() in copy_process() looks very ugly. Now that pid_ns_prepare_proc()->proc_get_sb() does not depend on the first alloc_pid(), we can move this code into create_pid_namespace(). This looks much more clean to me, and in theory more correct in case we ever implement sys_unshare(CLONE_NEWPI... 19 Jun 2010 15:40

[PATCH 1/4] procfs: proc_get_sb: consolidate/cleanup root_inode->pid logic
Depending on whether it is called by the init_pid_ns or not, proc_get_sb() does different things to initialize PROC_I(s_root->d_inode)->pid, and both look ugly, imho. - init_pid_ns tries to initialize ->pid every time proc_get_sb() is called, and we check the global proc_mnt != NULL to ensure proc_get_sb() w... 19 Jun 2010 15:40
