Hi Eric! A few days ago we've noticed that our zombie00 test case started
failing: https://ci.openvz.org/job/CRIU/view/All/job/CRIU-linux-next/406/console
---
======================== Run zdtm/static/zombie00 in h =========================
Start test
./zombie00 --pidfile=zombie00.pid --outfile=zombie00.out
Run criu dump
Run criu restore
Send the 15 signal to  30
Wait for zdtm/static/zombie00(30) to die for 0.100000
################ Test zdtm/static/zombie00 FAIL at result check ################

I've narrowed problem down to commit

 | Subject: [PATCH] mm: Add a user_ns owner to mm_struct and fix
 |  ptrace_may_access
 |
 | During exec dumpable is cleared if the file that is being executed is
 | not readable by the user executing the file.  A bug in
 | ptrace_may_access allows reading the file if the executable happens to
 | enter into a subordinate user namespace (aka clone(CLONE_NEWUSER),
 | unshare(CLONE_NEWUSER), or setns(fd, CLONE_NEWUSER).

and the reason is that the zombie tasks do not have task::mm and in resut
we're obtaining -EPERM when trying to read task->exit_code from /proc/pid/stat.

Looking into commit I suspect when mm = NULL we've to move back the test
ptrace_has_cap(__task_cred(task)->user_ns, mode)?
