[PATCH 05/21] userns: Make seq_file's user namespace accessible

From: Eric W. Biederman
Date: Mon Aug 13 2012 - 16:20:14 EST


From: "Eric W. Biederman" <ebiederm@xxxxxxxxxxxx>

struct file already has a user namespace associated with it
in file->f_cred->user_ns, unfortunately because struct
seq_file has no struct file backpointer associated with
it, it is difficult to get at the user namespace in seq_file
context. Therefore add a helper function seq_user_ns to return
the associated user namespace and a user_ns field to struct
seq_file to be used in implementing seq_user_ns.
