Subject: [PATCH v3 0/2] Add further ioctl() operations for namespace discovery


I would like to write code that discovers the nmaespace setup on a live
system.  The NS_GET_PARENT and NS_GET_USERNS ioctl() operations added in
Linux 4.9 provide much of what I want, but there are still a couple of
small pieces missing. Those pieces are added with this patch series.

Here's an example program that makes use of the new ioctl() operations.
