From 7881f39aaa18fc09e5a28c50099b45b4f8902f21 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Tetsuo Handa Date: Thu, 1 Dec 2011 14:28:04 -0700 Subject: [PATCH 1/2] UBUNTU: SAUCE: netns: Add quota for number of NET_NS instances. CONFIG_NET_NS support in 2.6.32 has a problem that leads to OOM killer when clone(CLONE_NEWNET) is called instantly. https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/720095 But disabling CONFIG_NET_NS broke lxc containers. https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/790863 This patch introduces /proc/sys/net/core/netns_max interface that limits max number of network namespace instances.
