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

43 * the namespaces access rules are:
45 * 1. only current task is allowed to change tsk->nsproxy pointer or
46 * any pointer on the nsproxy itself. Current must hold the task_lock
47 * when changing tsk->nsproxy.
49 * 2. when accessing (i.e. reading) current task's namespaces - no
50 * precautions should be taken - just dereference the pointers
52 * 3. the access to other task namespaces is performed like this
53 * task_lock(task);
54 * nsproxy = task->nsproxy;
55 * if (nsproxy != NULL) {
56 * / *
57 * * work with the namespaces here
58 * * e.g. get the reference on one of them
59 * * /
60 * } / *
61 * * NULL task->nsproxy means that this task is
62 * * almost dead (zombie)
63 * * /
64 * task_unlock(task);
