14 * A structure to contain pointers to all per-process
15 * namespaces - fs (mount), uts, network, sysvipc, etc.
17 * The pid namespace is an exception -- it's accessed using
18 * task_active_pid_ns. The pid namespace here is the
19 * namespace that children will use.
21 * 'count' is the number of tasks holding a reference.
22 * The count for each namespace, then, will be the number
23 * of nsproxies pointing to it, not the number of tasks.
25 * The nsproxy is shared by tasks which share all namespaces.
26 * As soon as a single namespace is cloned or unshared, the
31 struct uts_namespace *uts_ns;
32 struct ipc_namespace *ipc_ns;
33 struct mnt_namespace *mnt_ns;
34 struct pid_namespace *pid_ns_for_children;
37 extern struct nsproxy init_nsproxy;
40 * the namespaces access rules are:
42 * 1. only current task is allowed to change tsk->nsproxy pointer or
43 * any pointer on the nsproxy itself
45 * 2. when accessing (i.e. reading) current task's namespaces - no
46 * precautions should be taken - just dereference the pointers
48 * 3. the access to other task namespaces is performed like this
50 * nsproxy = task_nsproxy(tsk);
51 * if (nsproxy != NULL) {
53 * * work with the namespaces here
54 * * e.g. get the reference on one of them
57 * * NULL task_nsproxy() means that this task is
58 * * almost dead (zombie)
