Why not drop the upcall model in favor of having userspace monitor events via a (more efficient) protocol and react to them on its own? It's just generally more flexible and avoids all of those issues like replicating the seccomp configuration, etc. Something like inotify/signalfd could be a precedent around having a read()/poll()able fd. /proc/keys-requests ? Then if you create a new user namespace, and open /proc/keys-requests, the kernel will always write to that instead of calling /sbin/request-key. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe cgroups" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
