sysctl variables are not available to newly created namespace

[G, Madhukrishna]

Hi,

In my current linux 3.2.71 stable version , I have created a network namespace  and when I listed sysctl variables in  following directory " /proc/sys/net/core/" am able to see net.core.xfrm* variables only, i.e only CONFIG_SYSCTL related variables, even though I have enabled CONFIG_NET as well as CONFIG_NET_NS I am not able to see any sysctl variables related to ne.core(rmem_max, wmem_max, rmem_default and wmem_default).

Where as in my older kernel version, it will show all sysctl variables.
