I think we can safely assume that u64 won't overflow. Even if we processed one user return notification on a given seccomp_filter every nanosecond (which would be insanely fast), that's 584 years. > >> On very quick reading, I have a question.

Hmm. This won't nest right. Maybe we should just disallow a user-notification-using filter from being applied if there is already one in the stack. Then, if anyone cares about making these things nest right, they can fix it. _______________________________________________ Containers mailing list Containers@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.linuxfoundation.org/mailman/listinfo/containers
