Subject: [PATCH v3 65/70] selftests/namespace: first threaded active reference count test
Date: Fri, 24 Oct 2025 12:53:34 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20251024-work-namespace-nstree-listns-v3-65-b6241981b72b@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20251024-work-namespace-nstree-listns-v3-0-b6241981b72b@kernel.org>
Test that namespace becomes inactive after thread exits. This verifies
active reference counting works with threads, not just processes.
