In some case, we want to know how many sockets are in use in different _net_ namespaces. It's a key resource metric. This patch add a member in struct netns_core. This is a counter for socket-inuse in the _net_ namespace. The patch will add/sub counter in the sk_alloc, sk_clone_lock and __sk_free. This patch will not counter the socket created in kernel. It's not very useful for userspace to know how many kernel sockets we created. The main reasons for doing this are that: 1. When linux calls the 'do_exit' for process to exit, the functions 'exit_task_namespaces' and 'exit_task_work' will be called sequentially. 'exit_task_namespaces' may have destroyed the _net_ namespace, but 'sock_release' called in 'exit_task_work' may use the _net_ namespace if we counter the socket-inuse in sock_release. 2. socket and sock are in pair. More important, sock holds the _net_ namespace. We counter the socket-inuse in sock, for avoiding holding _net_ namespace again in socket. It's a easy way to maintain the code.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
