Merge branch 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/ebiederm/user-namespace
Pull namespace fixes from Eric Biederman: "This is a set of 3 regression fixes. This fixes /proc/mounts when using "ip netns add <netns>" to display the actual mount point. This fixes a regression in clone that broke lxc-attach. This fixes a regression in the permission checks for mounting /proc that made proc unmountable if binfmt_misc was in use. Oops. My apologies for sending this pull request so late. Al Viro gave interesting review comments about the d_path fix that I wanted to address in detail before I sent this pull request. Unfortunately a bad round of colds kept from addressing that in detail until today. The executive summary of the review was: Al: Is patching d_path really sufficient? The prepend_path, d_path, d_absolute_path, and __d_path family of functions is a really mess. Me: Yes, patching d_path is really sufficient. Yes, the code is mess. No it is not appropriate to rewrite all of d_path for a regression that has existed for entirely too long already, when a two line change will do" * 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/ebiederm/user-namespace: vfs: Fix a regression in mounting proc fork: Allow CLONE_PARENT after setns(CLONE_NEWPID) vfs: In d_path don't call d_dname on a mount point
