From 417daa1e8f893fbac88fd395340ba7779fd3926c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Eric W. Biederman" Date: Tue, 4 May 2010 17:36:48 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] hotplug: netns aware uevent_helper It only makes sense for uevent_helper to get events in the intial namespaces. It's invocation is not per namespace and it is not clear how we could make it's invocation namespace aware. Signed-off-by: Eric W. Biederman Acked-by: David S.
