[ Upstream commit 9c1be1935fb68b2413796cdc03d019b8cf35ab51 ]
While testing a patch that will follow later
("net: add netns refcount tracker to struct nsproxy")
I found that devtmpfs_init() was called before init_net
was initialized.
This is a bug, because devtmpfs_setup() calls
ksys_unshare(CLONE_NEWNS);
This has the effect of increasing init_net refcount,
which will be later overwritten to 1, as part of setup_net(&init_net)
We had too many prior patches [1] trying to work around the root cause.
Really, make sure init_net is in BSS section, and that net_ns_init()
is called earlier at boot time.
Note that another patch ("vfs: add netns refcount tracker
to struct fs_context") also will need net_ns_init() being called
before vfs_caches_init()
As a bonus, this patch saves around 4KB in .data section.
