why do you need to check ->child_reaper under tasklist_lock? this looks pointless.

In fact I do not understand how it is possible to hit pid_ns->child_reaper == NULL,
there must be at least one task in this namespace, otherwise you can't open a file
which has f_op == ns_file_operations, no?

then I don't understand why it makes sense to use vmalloc()

Well, this is ioctl(), do we really want to parse the strings?

Can't we make

	struct pidns_ioc_req {
		...
		int nr_pids;
		pid_t  pids[0];
	}

and just use get_user() in a loop? This way we can avoid vmalloc() or anything
else altogether.
