8 * A structure to contain pointers to all per-process
9 * namespaces - fs (mount), uts, network, sysvipc, etc.
10 *
11 * 'count' is the number of tasks holding a reference.
12 * The count for each namespace, then, will be the number
13 * of nsproxies pointing to it, not the number of tasks.
14 *
15 * The nsproxy is shared by tasks which share all namespaces.
16 * As soon as a single namespace is cloned or unshared, the
17 * nsproxy is copied.
