[ Upstream commit9c1be1935f] While testing a patch that will follow later ("net: add netns refcount tracker to struct nsproxy") I found that devtmpfs_init() was called before init_net was initialized. This is a bug, because devtmpfs_setup() calls ksys_unshare(CLONE_NEWNS); This has the effect of increasing init_net refcount, which will be later overwritten to 1, as part of setup_net(&init_net) We had too many prior patches [1] trying to work around the root cause. Really, make sure init_net is in BSS section, and that net_ns_init() is called earlier at boot time. Note that another patch ("vfs: add netns refcount tracker to struct fs_context") also will need net_ns_init() being called before vfs_caches_init() As a bonus, this patch saves around 4KB in .data section.
