From aeb3ae9da9b50a386b22af786d19b623e8d9f0fa Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Eric W. Biederman" Date: Wed, 16 Nov 2011 21:59:43 -0800 Subject: userns: Add an explicit reference to the parent user namespace I am about to remove the struct user_namespace reference from struct user_struct. So keep an explicit track of the parent user namespace. Take advantage of this new reference and replace instances of user_ns->creator->user_ns with user_ns->parent.
