From 556e6256c813063b95a9f4e55109f77c1a7d3fdd Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Cong Wang Date: Sun, 27 Jan 2013 15:55:21 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] netpoll: use the net namespace of current process instead of init_net This will allow us to setup netconsole in a different namespace rather than where init_net is.
