The patch titled namespaces: exit_task_namespaces() invalidates nsproxy has been added to the -mm tree. Its filename is namespaces-exit_task_namespaces-invalidates-nsproxy.patch See http://www.zip.com.au/~akpm/linux/patches/stuff/added-to-mm.txt to find out what to do about this ------------------------------------------------------ Subject: namespaces: exit_task_namespaces() invalidates nsproxy From: Cedric Le Goater <clg@xxxxxxxxxx> exit_task_namespaces() has replaced the former exit_namespace(). It invalidates task->nsproxy and associated namespaces. This is an issue for the (futur) pid namespace which is required to be valid in exit_notify(). This patch moves exit_task_namespaces() after exit_notify() to keep nsproxy valid. Signed-off-by: Cedric Le Goater <clg@xxxxxxxxxx> Cc: Serge E.
