Apologies for my newbie question. I couldn't help but notice all these
function calls are assuming that the parameter struct pid_namespace
*pid_ns will never be NULL. Is that a good assumption?
I don't have the background in this code to answer on my own, but I
thought I'd raise the question.
Thanks,
Jay
