[PATCH] User namespaces: set of cleanups (eventually forlinux-next?)

[Serge E. Hallyn]

Hi,

Once the creds-next-subsys branch of the security testing tree hits
linux-next, is there any chance of having this patch in there?  It
offers (imho) drastic cleanup over the current userns code.
LTP-approved (but then so were previous buggy versions...)

David, since this consumes your patch, I wasn't sure whether it was
appropriate to put your signed-off-by on here or not.  I decided
doing so was the worse of the potential offenses...

thanks,
-serge

Subject: [PATCH] User namespaces: set of cleanups
From: Serge Hallyn <serue@xxxxxxxxxx>
Date: 1224106725 -0500

The user_ns is moved from nsproxy to user_struct, so that a struct
cred by itself is sufficient to determine access (which it otherwise
would not be).  Corresponding ecryptfs fixes (by David Howells) are
here as well.

Fix refcounting.  The following rules now apply:
        1. The task pins the user struct.
        2. The user struct pins its user namespace.
        3. The user namespace pins the struct user which created it.

User namespaces are cloned during copy_creds().  Unsharing a new user_ns
is no longer possible.  (We could re-add that, but it'll cause code
duplication and doesn't seem useful if PAM doesn't need to clone user
namespaces).

When a user namespace is created, its first user (uid 0) gets empty
keyrings and a clean group_info.

Signed-off-by: Serge Hallyn <serue@xxxxxxxxxx>
