13 * A structure to contain pointers to all per-process
14 * namespaces - fs (mount), uts, network, sysvipc, etc.
16 * 'count' is the number of tasks holding a reference.
17 * The count for each namespace, then, will be the number
18 * of nsproxies pointing to it, not the number of tasks.
20 * The nsproxy is shared by tasks which share all namespaces.
21 * As soon as a single namespace is cloned or unshared, the
22 * nsproxy is copied.

36 * the namespaces access rules are:
38 * 1. only current task is allowed to change tsk->nsproxy pointer or
39 * any pointer on the nsproxy itself
41 * 2. when accessing (i.e. reading) current task's namespaces - no
42 * precautions should be taken - just dereference the pointers
44 * 3. the access to other task namespaces is performed like this
45 * rcu_read_lock();
46 * nsproxy = task_nsproxy(tsk);
47 * if (nsproxy != NULL) {
48 * / *
49 * * work with the namespaces here
50 * * e.g. get the reference on one of them
51 * * /
52 * } / *
53 * * NULL task_nsproxy() means that this task is
54 * * almost dead (zombie)
55 * * /
56 * rcu_read_unlock();
