- fix-user-namespace-exiting-oops.patch removed from -mm tree

[akpm@linux-foundation.org]

The patch titled
     Fix user namespace exiting OOPs
has been removed from the -mm tree.  Its filename was
     fix-user-namespace-exiting-oops.patch

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

------------------------------------------------------
Subject: Fix user namespace exiting OOPs
From: Pavel Emelyanov <xemul@openvz.org>

It turned out, that the user namespace is released during the do_exit() in
exit_task_namespaces(), but the struct user_struct is released only during the
put_task_struct(), i.e.  MUCH later.

On debug kernels with poisoned slabs this will cause the oops in
uid_hash_remove() because the head of the chain, which resides inside the
struct user_namespace, will be already freed and poisoned.

Since the uid hash itself is required only when someone can search it, i.e. 
when the namespace is alive, we can safely unhash all the user_struct-s from
it during the namespace exiting.  The subsequent free_uid() will complete the
user_struct destruction.

For example simple program

   #include <sched.h>

   char stack[2 * 1024 * 1024];

   int f(void *foo)
   {
   	return 0;
   }

   int main(void)
   {
   	clone(f, stack + 1 * 1024 * 1024, 0x10000000, 0);
   	return 0;
   }

run on kernel with CONFIG_USER_NS turned on will oops the
kernel immediately.

This was spotted during OpenVZ kernel testing.
