int setns(int nstype, int fd)

int main(int argc, char *argv[])

        fd[i] = open(path, O_RDONLY| FD_CLOEXEC);
        if (fd[i] < 0) {
            perror("open");
            return -1;
        }

    }
   
    for (i = 0; i < size; i++)
        if (setns(0, fd[i])) {

            return -1;
        }

    pid = fork();
    if (!pid) {

        fprintf(stderr, "mypid is %d\n", syscall(__NR_getpid));

        execve(argv[2], &argv[2], NULL);

    }

    if (pid < 0) {

    }

    if (waitpid(&pid, NULL, 0) < 0) {
        perror("waitpid");
    }

    return 0;
}

Waitpid returns an error:

waitpid: No child processes

The pid number returned by fork is the pid from the init pid namespace 
but it seems waitpid is waiting for a pid belonging to the child pid 
namespace.

waitpid
 -> wait4
   -> find_get_pid
     -> find_vpid
       -> find_pid_ns(nr, current->nsproxy->pid_ns);

The current->nsproxy->pid_ns is the one of the namespace we attached to. 
So the real pid returned by the fork does not exist in this pid namespace.
Maybe fork should return a pid number belonging to the current pid 
namespace we are attached no ?
