Here is a small patchset I've been sitting on for awhile to make signaling mostly subject to user namespaces. In particular,
1. store user_namespace in user struct 2. introduce CAP_NS_OVERRIDE 3. require CAP_NS_OVERRIDE to signal another user namespace The first step should have been done all along. Else wouldn't a hash collision on (ns1, uid) and (ns2, uid), however unlikely, give us wrong results at uid_hash_find()? The main remaining signaling+userns issue is of course the siginfo. Tacking a userns onto siginfo is a pain due to lifetime mgmt issues. I haven't decided whether to just catch all the callers and fake uid=0 if user namespaces aren't the same, introduce some unique non-refcounted id to represent (user,user_ns), or find some other way to deal with it. thanks, -serge - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-security-module" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
