If it is needed for the next changes, please explain the need? Yes, it removes the line from __init function, but it complicates copy_process(), this doesn't look fair to me ;) I agree, the complication is minor, but still. And, in fact, to me this change hides CLONE_NEWPID from grep. In fact, I was looking at this code when I did 1/4. And I think it is better to move it (and perhaps another CLONE_NEWPID check in copy_signal) into copy_pid_ns() path.
