The following patch modifies create_new_namespaces() to also use the errors returned by the copy_*_ns routines and not to systematically return ENOMEM.


In my initial version, I did same. It doesn't work :(

copy_*_ns() routines doesn't return any errors. All they return is NULL in case of a failure + with the exception of copy_mnt_ns, there are no other failure cases. So, there is no way to find out why the copy_*_ns() routines failed from create_new_namespaces(). If you really really want to do this, change all copy_*_ns() routines to returns meaningful
errors instead of NULL.

Hmm.. copy_user_ns() ? I don't see this in rc4-mm2.

Thanks,
