The fix is right.
Peter Zijlstra, or Ingo any chance you could add the patch below to your
tree?
It is just a better idiom to access the user namespace pointer as
cred->user_ns, instead of cred->user->user_ns and has been for a few
kernel releases.
Once my usernamespace tree is merged into Linus's tree a little more
will be needed to build this code with user namespaces enabled, but
cred->user->user to cred->user_ns is an improvement whichever way
you look at it.
Otherwise I guess this merge failure will act as a reminder that this
code needs a few more changes.
