At some level I don't care this is not exposed to userspace.

However since we are going several rounds with this.

Of the existing uses several of them sleep, which unfortunately means we
can not use rcu locking for everything.  The network namespace ones wind
up taking a reference to struct net because the have the legacy pid case
to deal with.  Which makes we can not use fdget for all callers either.

For this translate_pid rcu locking is sufficient, rcu locking is easy
and doing any more than rcu locking just seems silly.  So let me
respectfully suggest.

struct ns_common *ns_by_fd_rcu(int fd, int type)
{
	struct files_struct *files = current->files;
	struct file *file;
	struct ns_common *ns;
	void *ret;

	file = fcheck_files(files, fd);
        if (!file)
		return ERR_PTR(-EBADF);

	if (file->f_mode & FMODE_PATH)
		return ERR_PTR(-EINVAL);

	if (file->f_op != &ns_file_operations)
        	return ERR_PTR(-EINVAL);

	ns = get_proc_ns(file_inode(file));
	if (ns->ops->type != type)
		return ERR_PTR(-EINVAL);

	return ns;
}

struct pid_namespace *pidns_by_fd_rcu(int fd)
{
	struct ns_common *ns = ns_by_fd_rcu(fd, CLONE_NEWPID);
        if (IS_ERR(ns))
		return ERR_CAST(ns);
	return container_of(ns, struct pid_namespace, ns);
}

SYSCALL_DEFINE3(translate_pid, pid_t, pid_nr, int, sourcefd, int, targetfd)
{
	struct pid_namespace *source, *target;
	struct pid *pid;
	pid_t result;

	rcu_read_lock();

	if (sourcefd >= 0)
        	source = pidns_by_fd_rcu(sourcefd);
	else
		source = task_active_pid_ns(current);

	if (targetfd >= 0)
        	target = pidns_by_fd_rcu(targetfd);
	else
		target = task_active_pid_ns(current);

	pid = find_pid_ns(pid_nr, source);
        result = pid_nr_ns(pid, target);
        if (result == 0)
		result = -ESRCH;          

	rcu_read_unlock();

	return result;
}
