Subject: [PATCH] uts: copy nsproxy only when needed
X-Git-Tag: v2.6.19-rc1~407
X-Git-Url: https://err.no/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=c0b2fc316599d6cd875b6b8cafa67f03b9512b4d;p=linux-2.6

[PATCH] uts: copy nsproxy only when needed

The nsproxy was being copied in unshare() when anything was being unshared,
even if it was something not referenced from nsproxy.  This should end up
in some cases with far more memory usage than necessary.
