is pid_namespace leak in v3.10?

[Xishi Qiu]

I find pid_namespace leak by "cat /proc/slabinfo | grep pid_namespace".
The kernel version is RHEL 7.1 (kernel v3.10 stable).
The following is the test case, after several times, the count of pid_namespace
become very large, is it correct?

I also test mainline, and the count will increase too, but it seems stably later.

BTW, this patch doesn't help.

exit: pidns: alloc_pid() leaks pid_namespace if child_reaper is exiting

Thanks,
