Just documentation updates, compared to the previous submission.
Thanks to Serge for the relentless reviews :)
Please consider for -mm, and then for 2.6.26.
Thanks,
Miklos
v7 -> v8
- extend documentation of allow_usermount sysctl tunable
- describe new unprivileged mounting in fuse.txt
v6 -> v7:
- add '/proc/sys/fs/types/<type>/usermount_safe' tunable (new patch)
- do not make FUSE safe by default, describe possible problems
associated with unprivileged FUSE mounts in patch header
- return EMFILE instead of EPERM, if maximum user mount count is exceeded
- rename option 'nomnt' -> 'nosubmnt'
- clean up error propagation in dup_mnt_ns
- update util-linux-ng patch
v5 -> v6:
- update to latest -mm
- preliminary util-linux-ng support (will post right after this series)
v4 -> v5:
- fold back Andrew's changes
- fold back my update patch:
o use fsuid instead of ruid
o allow forced unpriv. unmounts for "safe" filesystems
o allow mounting over special files, but not over symlinks
o set nosuid and nodev based on lack of specific capability
- patch header updates
- new patch: on propagation inherit owner from parent
- new patch: add "no submounts" mount flag
v3 -> v4:
- simplify interface as much as possible, now only a single option
("user=UID") is used to control everything
- no longer allow/deny mounting based on file/directory permissions,
that approach does not always make sense
v1 -> v3:
- add mount flags to set/clear mnt_flags individually
- add "usermnt" mount flag. If it is set, then allow unprivileged
submounts under this mount
- make max number of user mounts default to 1024, since now the
usermnt flag will prevent user mounts by default
