Subject: [PATCH RFC DRAFT 20/50] selftests/namespaces: second active reference count tests
Date: Tue, 21 Oct 2025 13:43:26 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20251021-work-namespace-nstree-listns-v1-20-ad44261a8a5b@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20251021-work-namespace-nstree-listns-v1-0-ad44261a8a5b@kernel.org>
Test namespace lifecycle: create a namespace in a child process, get a
file handle while it's active, then try to reopen after the process
exits (namespace becomes inactive).
