On second thoughts, cinit is a normal process in its ancestor ns so it
might very well ignore the second instance of the signal (as long as it
does not ignore SIGKILL/SIGSTOP)

Ok.

I think Eric's patchset did this and iirc, we ran into the problem of
blocked SIG_DFL signals ?

Yes, I think we had that in the patchset but that was not merged.

I think so too.

| Actually. I personally think that if we manage to achieve that
| 
|       - the sub-namespace can't kill its init
| 
|       - the ancestor can always kill cinit with SIGKILL

Yep.
