You need to check here if task state is PF_EXITING and fail with
-ESRCH if so? Otherwise we risk breaking refcount on
init_container_group.


Yes, I think you're right; I've now changed it to this in my tree:

       task_lock(tsk);
       if (tsk->flags & PF_EXITING) {
               task_unlock(tsk);
               put_container_group(newcg);
               return -ESRCH;
       }
       rcu_assign_pointer(tsk->containers, newcg);
       task_unlock(tsk);

Thanks,

Paul
