Yes... I see pidns_install() after git pull... And it seems that
unshare(NEWPID) should work too...

So in general task_active_pid_ns() is no longer equal to nsproxy->pid_ns.

Probably, I didn't see any email. I'll try to read the new code later.
I simply can't understand what will happen if, say, the task does
clone(CLONE_THREAD) after unshare(NEWPID)...
