commit: e66eded8309ebf679d3d3c1f5820d1f2ca332c71 From: "Eric W. Biederman" <ebiederm@xxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Wed, 13 Mar 2013 11:51:49 -0700 Subject: userns: Don't allow CLONE_NEWUSER | CLONE_FS Don't allowing sharing the root directory with processes in a different user namespace. There doesn't seem to be any point, and to allow it would require the overhead of putting a user namespace reference in fs_struct (for permission checks) and incrementing that reference count on practically every call to fork. So just perform the inexpensive test of forbidding sharing fs_struct acrosss processes in different user namespaces. We already disallow other forms of threading when unsharing a user namespace so this should be no real burden in practice. This updates setns, clone, and unshare to disallow multiple user namespaces sharing an fs_struct. Cc: stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Signed-off-by: "Eric W.
