I got the impression that the script “add_namespace.cocci” should never
be automatically called by the current default setting of the tool “coccicheck”
also because it requires the input parameter “name space” (SmPL identifier “virtual.ns”).
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/scripts/coccinelle/misc/add_namespace.cocci?id=eb8305aecb958e8787e7d603c7765c1dcace3a2b

Would you like to increase your software development attention for
efficient system configuration on this issue?
