[PATCH 37/38] hotplug: netns aware uevent_helper

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman
Date: Fri May 21 2010 - 12:56:33 EST


From: Eric W. Biederman <ebiederm@xxxxxxxxxxxx>

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.
