From fb5ae64fdde29236e1a15e0366946df7060f41f2 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Serge E. Hallyn" Date: Fri, 13 Feb 2009 14:04:21 +0000 Subject: User namespaces: Only put the userns when we unhash the uid uids in namespaces other than init don't get a sysfs entry. For those in the init namespace, while we're waiting to remove the sysfs entry for the uid the uid is still hashed, and alloc_uid() may re-grab that uid without getting a new reference to the user_ns, which we've already put in free_user before scheduling remove_user_sysfs_dir().
