get rid of unprotected dereferencing of mnt->mnt_ns
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
It's safe only under namespace_sem or vfsmount_lock; all places
in fs/namespace.c that want mnt->mnt_ns->user_ns actually want to use
current->nsproxy->mnt_ns->user_ns (note the calls of check_mnt() in
there).
