[PATCH] umount: Allow superblock owners to force umount

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

 



From: Trond Myklebust <trond.myklebust@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

Loosen the permission check on forced umount to allow users holding
CAP_SYS_ADMIN privileges in namespaces that are privileged with respect
to the userns that originally mounted the filesystem.
