Do we expect > people to e.g. set up NFS mounts that require keys/DNS inside "a container" Separate NFS mounts in separate net namespaces have separate superblocks. That's enforced in the kernel right now. However, they currently still share a DNS cache and an idmapper cache - which they should not. Note that this patch *only* requires that if you use the filter, then an NFS superblock must be in the same net namespace as the service daemon that's handling its DNS. The program using files from the superblock doesn't have to share a net namespace with it - though that might be considered odd. > (and if in a container, with what namespaces?)

Yes. If I don't provide it, someone will complain that I haven't provided it. > Something that worries me a lot here is for e.g. Docker today, the default > is uid 0 but not CAP_SYS_ADMIN.

Keys may be relevant in different namespaces, which makes namespacing them hard to achieve. For instance, dns-, idmapper- and rxrpc-type keys should probably be differentiated by network namespace. However, it might be worth creating a keyrings namespace. > Basically my instinct here is to be conservative and have KEYCTL_SERVICE_ADD > require CAP_SYS_ADMIN and only affect the userns keyring. "Affect" in what sense?
