Subject: [PATCH][NETNS] Don't memset() netns to zero manually
Date: Tue, 09 Oct 2007 15:48:19 +0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <470B6A83.8070600@openvz.org> (raw)

The newly created net namespace is set to 0 with memset()
in setup_net(). The setup_net() is also called for the
init_net_ns(), which is zeroed naturally as a global var.

So remove this memset and allocate new nets with the
kmem_cache_zalloc().
