Re: [RFC PATCH v2 2/8] Add a reference to ucounts for each user

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



The subject is wrong.  This should be:
[RFC PATCH v2 2/8] Add a reference to ucounts for each cred.

Further the explanation could use a little work.  Something along the
lines of:

For RLIMIT_NPROC and some other rlimits the user_struct that holds the
global limit is kept alive for the lifetime of a process by keeping it
in struct cred.  Add a ucounts reference to struct cred, so that
RLIMIT_NPROC can switch from using a per user limit to using a per user
per user namespace limit.

Nits about the code below.

This hunk should be:
	atomic_inc(&new->count);

That means you get to skip the lookup by uid and user_ns which while it
should be cheap is completely unnecessary in this case.

	Unfortuantely this is needed here because this is the first cred
        and there is no ucount reference to copy.

That can become:
void reset_cred_ucounts(struct cred *cred, struct user_namespace *ns, kuid_t uid)
{
	struct ucounts *old = cred->ucounts;

	if (old && old->ns && uid_eq(old->uid, uid))
        	return;

	cred->ucounts = get_ucounts(ns, uid);
        if (old)
        	put_ucounts(old);
}

Removing the const on struct cred will make any mistakes where you use
this with anything except a brand new cred show up at compile time.

Changing the tests around just makes it a little clearer what the code
is doing.

Changing the name emphasises that prepare_cred should not be using this
only commit_cred and friends where the ucounts may have changed.
