The patch titled
     Merge sys_clone()/sys_unshare() nsproxy and namespace handling
has been removed from the -mm tree.  Its filename was
     merge-sys_clone-sys_unshare-nsproxy-and-namespace.patch

This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree

------------------------------------------------------
Subject: Merge sys_clone()/sys_unshare() nsproxy and namespace handling
From: Badari Pulavarty <pbadari@us.ibm.com>

sys_clone() and sys_unshare() both makes copies of nsproxy and its associated
namespaces.  But they have different code paths.

This patch merges all the nsproxy and its associated namespace copy/clone
handling (as much as possible).  Posted on container list earlier for
feedback.


- Create a new nsproxy and its associated namespaces and pass it back to
  caller to attach it to right process.

- Changed all copy_*_ns() routines to return a new copy of namespace
  instead of attaching it to task->nsproxy.

- Moved the CAP_SYS_ADMIN checks out of copy_*_ns() routines.

- Removed unnessary !ns checks from copy_*_ns() and added BUG_ON()
  just incase.

- Get rid of all individual unshare_*_ns() routines and make use of
  copy_*_ns() instead.
