Hey Eric,

the patches look nice.

The hand-forcing of the passed-in net_ns into a copy of current->nsproxy
does make it seem like nsproxy may not be the best choice of what to
pass in.  Doesn't only net_sysctl_root->lookup() look at the argument?

But I assume you don't want to be more general than sending in a
nsproxy so as to dissuade abuse of this interface for needlessly complex
sysctl interfaces?

(Well I expect that'll become clear once the the patches using this
come out.)

Are you planning to use this infrastructure for the uts and ipc
sysctls as well?

thanks,
