From 0093ccb68f3753c0ba4d74c89d7e0f444b8d6123 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Eric W. Biederman" Date: Wed, 16 Nov 2011 21:52:53 -0800 Subject: cred: Refcount the user_ns pointed to by the cred. struct user_struct will shortly loose it's user_ns reference so make the cred user_ns reference a proper reference complete with reference counting.
