Note that free_user() still seems wrong there, as it won't call uid_hash_remove(up) for a user which is not inthe init_user_ns at all, right? >From 2bc9da9728e0a4242bd8b1362d34e8d425be1b66 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Serge E. Hallyn <serue@xxxxxxxxxx> Date: Wed, 11 Feb 2009 11:29:52 -0500 Subject: [PATCH 1/1] user namespaces: only put the userns when we unhash the uid uids in namespaces other than init don't get a sysfs entry. For those in the init namespace, while we're waiting to remove the sysfs entry for the uid the uid is still hashed, and alloc_uid() may re-grab that uid without getting a new reference to the user_ns, which we've already put in free_user before scheduling remove_user_sysfs_dir().
