In linux/init.h I saw that a pure_initcall is reserved to only initialize variables and must have no dependency on anything else; I interpreted that, + "pure" in the name, thinking we should not e.g. allocate in a pure_initcall, however I see that net_ns_init() calls kmem_cache_create() and others, so maybe we can keep ipc_ns_init() as a pure_initcall?
Yeah, I don't see this as a limitation wrt link order. Among others, filelocks also do this. Not to mention futexes with alloc_large_system_hash(). So lets just keep this as is. Thanks, Davidlohr
