From 467e9f4b5086a60a5cb2e032ccaf4a31abadc4c2 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Cedric Le Goater Date: Sun, 15 Jul 2007 23:41:06 -0700 Subject: fix create_new_namespaces() return value dup_mnt_ns() and clone_uts_ns() return NULL on failure. This is wrong, create_new_namespaces() uses ERR_PTR() to catch an error. This means that the subsequent create_new_namespaces() will hit BUG_ON() in copy_mnt_ns() or copy_utsname(). Modify create_new_namespaces() to also use the errors returned by the copy_*_ns routines and not to systematically return ENOMEM.
