[PATCH 0/3] ns: tweak ns common handling
From: Christian Brauner <brauner@kernel.org>
Date: 2025-09-24 11:34:11
Also in:
cgroups, linux-fsdevel
This contains three minor tweaks for namespace handling:
* Make struct ns_tree private. There's no need for anything to access
that directly.
* Drop a debug assert that would trigger in conditions that are benign.
* Move the type of the namespace out of struct proc_ns_operations and
into struct ns_common. This eliminates a pointer dereference and also
allows assertions to work when the namespace type is disabled and the
operations field set to NULL.
"Trust me, just one more fixes series, bro. Just one more, bro."
