Re: [PATCH v3 03/21] fs: Allow sysfs and cgroupfs to share super blocks between user namespaces

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

 



Quoting Seth Forshee (seth.forshee@xxxxxxxxxxxxx):
> Both of these filesystems already have use cases for mounting the
> same super block from multiple user namespaces. For sysfs this
> happens when using criu for snapshotting a container, where sysfs
> is mounted in the containers network ns but the hosts user ns.
> The cgroup filesystem shares the same super block for all mounts
> of the same hierarchy regardless of the namespace.
> 
> As a result, the restriction on mounting a super block from a
> single user namespace creates regressions for existing uses of
> these filesystems. For these specific filesystems this
> restriction isn't really necessary since the backing store is
> objects in kernel memory and thus the ids assigned from inodes
> is not subject to translation relative to s_user_ns.
> 
> Add a new filesystem flag, FS_USERNS_SHARE_SB, which when set
> causes sget_userns() to skip the check of s_user_ns. Set this
> flag for the sysfs and cgroup filesystems to fix the
> regressions.
