  • 213dd266d   namespace: ensure clone_flags are always stored in an unsigned long ... Browse Code »

    While working on unshare support for the network namespace I noticed we
    were putting clone flags in an int. Which is weird because the syscall
    uses unsigned long and we at least need an unsigned to properly hold all of
    the unshare flags.

    So to make the code consistent, this patch updates the code to use
    unsigned long instead of int for the clone flags in those places
    where we get it wrong today.

  • e3222c4ec   Merge sys_clone()/sys_unshare() nsproxy and namespace handling ... Browse Code »

    sys_clone() and sys_unshare() both makes copies of nsproxy and its associated
    namespaces. But they have different code paths.

    This patch merges all the nsproxy and its associated namespace copy/clone
    handling (as much as possible). Posted on container list earlier for
    feedback.

    - Create a new nsproxy and its associated namespaces and pass it back to
    caller to attach it to right process.

    - Changed all copy_*_ns() routines to return a new copy of namespace
    instead of attaching it to task->nsproxy.

    - Moved the CAP_SYS_ADMIN checks out of copy_*_ns() routines.

    - Removed unnessary !ns checks from copy_*_ns() and added BUG_ON()
    just incase.

    - Get rid of all individual unshare_*_ns() routines and make use of
    copy_*_ns() instead.

  • 6b3286ed1   [PATCH] rename struct namespace to struct mnt_namespace ... Browse Code »

    Rename 'struct namespace' to 'struct mnt_namespace' to avoid confusion with
    other namespaces being developped for the containers : pid, uts, ipc, etc.
    'namespace' variables and attributes are also renamed to 'mnt_ns'
