From: Serge Hallyn Date: Fri, 29 Jan 2016 08:54:11 +0000 (-0600) Subject: Add FS_USERNS_FLAG to cgroup fs X-Git-Tag: next-20160301~18^2~6 X-Git-Url: https://git.karo-electronics.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=1c53753e0df1ae4d21661053459e7c024a43f1d3;p=karo-tx-linux.git Add FS_USERNS_FLAG to cgroup fs allowing root in a non-init user namespace to mount it. This should now be safe, because 1. non-init-root cannot mount a previously unbound subsystem 2. the task doing the mount must be privileged with respect to the user namespace owning the cgroup namespace 3. the mounted subsystem will have its current cgroup as the root dentry. the permissions will be unchanged, so tasks will receive no new privilege over the cgroups which they did not have on the original mounts.
