I am of two mind about my patches. Right now they are a brilliant proof of concept that we can name namespaces without needing a namespace for the names of namespaces, and start to be a practical solution to the join problem. At the same time, I'm not certain I like a solution that requires yet more syscalls so I ask myself is there not yet a simpler way.
thinking aloud, what if you made the nsproxy a vfs_inode ? we could then mount the nsfs to do all sorts of fs operations on the object, like notifying easily its deletion. we would need to find a meaningful name, probably the inode number. one syscall (nsfd) would be required to get the nsproxy of a task (pid). you can't guess that from an inode number.
