Subject: [PATCH 1/8] ns: don't skip active reference count initialization
Date: Sun, 09 Nov 2025 22:11:22 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20251109-namespace-6-19-fixes-v1-1-ae8a4ad5a3b3@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20251109-namespace-6-19-fixes-v1-0-ae8a4ad5a3b3@kernel.org>
Don't skip active reference count initialization for initial namespaces.
Doing this will break network namespace active reference counting.
Fixes: 3a18f809184b ("ns: add active reference count")
