[RFC PATCH 0/4] Namespace contrained helper execution

[Ian Kent]

Hi all,

Some time ago an attempt was made to update call_usermodehelper()
to execute within it's namespace.

Comments at the time were basically that the approach didn't go
nearly far enough to constrain the process.

This series attempts to remedy that by taking care to create an
appropriate namespace environment then switch to it and setup
fs_struct for path walking prior to the user mode helper thread
runner calling do_execve().

Please review and comment on the patch series.
Ian
