Subject: [PATCH] User namespaces: Only put the userns when we unhash the uid
Date: Fri, 13 Feb 2009 14:04:21 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20090213140421.5698.86876.stgit@warthog.procyon.org.uk> (raw)

From: Serge E. Hallyn <serue@us.ibm.com>

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().
