The patch titled Revert "[PATCH] identifier to nsproxy" has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was revert-identifier-to-nsproxy.patch This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree ------------------------------------------------------ Subject: Revert "[PATCH] identifier to nsproxy" From: Eric W. Biederman <ebiederm@xxxxxxxxxxxx> This reverts commit 373beb35cd6b625e0ba4ad98baace12310a26aa8. No one is using this identifier yet. The purpose of this identifier is to export nsproxy to user space which is wrong. nsproxy is an internal implementation optimization, which should keep our fork times from getting slower as we increase the number of global namespaces you don't have to share. Adding a global identifier like this is inappropriate because it makes namespaces inherently non-recursive, greatly limiting what we can do with them in the future. Signed-off-by: Eric W.
