15 * A structure to contain pointers to all per-process
16 * namespaces - fs (mount), uts, network, sysvipc, etc.
18 * The pid namespace is an exception -- it's accessed using
19 * task_active_pid_ns. The pid namespace here is the
20 * namespace that children will use.
22 * 'count' is the number of tasks holding a reference.
23 * The count for each namespace, then, will be the number
24 * of nsproxies pointing to it, not the number of tasks.
26 * The nsproxy is shared by tasks which share all namespaces.
27 * As soon as a single namespace is cloned or unshared, the

42 * the namespaces access rules are:
44 * 1. only current task is allowed to change tsk->nsproxy pointer or
45 * any pointer on the nsproxy itself. Current must hold the task_lock
46 * when changing tsk->nsproxy.
48 * 2. when accessing (i.e. reading) current task's namespaces - no
49 * precautions should be taken - just dereference the pointers
51 * 3. the access to other task namespaces is performed like this
53 * nsproxy = task->nsproxy;
54 * if (nsproxy != NULL) {
56 * * work with the namespaces here
57 * * e.g. get the reference on one of them
60 * * NULL task->nsproxy means that this task is
61 * * almost dead (zombie)
