There is also some ongoing work to export this information via a proc
file which seems more appropriate for solving your problem.  Certainly
for debugging something easily human discoverable is needed.

The pidtype is nonsense.  The translation of a pid does not depend upon
type.  Using that kind of nonsense will lead you and others into confusion.

Elsewhere we use 0 on pid translation failure.  Why be different here?

The functions you want to be using here are:
find_pid_ns and pid_nr_ns.
