Four reasons:
1) ioctl() is not a hot path, so performance is not a problem here.
2) There are 3 different places (tun has two more) that need the same
fix.
3) init_net always exits, except it does not have an ops when
CONFIG_NET_NS is disabled:
static __net_init int net_ns_net_init(struct net *net)
{
#ifdef CONFIG_NET_NS
net->ns.ops = &netns_operations;
#endif
return ns_alloc_inum(&net->ns);
}
4) *I think* other namespaces need this fix too, for instance
init_ipc_ns:
struct ipc_namespace init_ipc_ns = {
.ns.count = REFCOUNT_INIT(1),
.user_ns = &init_user_ns,
.ns.inum = PROC_IPC_INIT_INO,
#ifdef CONFIG_IPC_NS
.ns.ops = &ipcns_operations,
#endif
};
whose ns->ops is NULL too if disabled.
Thanks.
