The patch titled namespaces: exit_task_namespaces() invalidates nsproxy has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename is namespaces-exit_task_namespaces-invalidates-nsproxy.patch This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree ------------------------------------------------------ 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.
