Subject: [PATCH][NETNS] Don't panic on creating the namespace's loopback
Date: Mon, 15 Oct 2007 14:23:13 +0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <47133F91.4030209@openvz.org> (raw)

When the loopback device is failed to initialize inside the new 
namespaces, panic() is called. Do not do it when the namespace 
in question is not the init_net.

Plus cleanup the error path a bit.
