  • struct utsname is copied from master one without any exclusion.

    Here is sample output from one proggie doing

    sethostname("aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa");
    sethostname("bbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbb");

    and another

    clone(,, CLONE_NEWUTS, ...)
    uname()

    hostname = 'aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaabbbbb'
    hostname = 'bbbaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa'
    hostname = 'aaaaaaaabbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbb'
    hostname = 'aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaabbbb'
    hostname = 'aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaabb'
    hostname = 'aaabbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbb'
    hostname = 'bbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbaaaaaaaaaaaaaa'

    Hostname is sometimes corrupted.

    Yes, even _the_ simplest namespace activity had bug in it. :-(

  • 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.

  • dup_mnt_ns() and clone_uts_ns() return NULL on failure. This is wrong,
    create_new_namespaces() uses ERR_PTR() to catch an error. This means that the
    subsequent create_new_namespaces() will hit BUG_ON() in copy_mnt_ns() or
    copy_utsname().

    Modify create_new_namespaces() to also use the errors returned by the
    copy_*_ns routines and not to systematically return ENOMEM.

  • 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.

  • This patch defines the uts namespace and some manipulators.
    Adds the uts namespace to task_struct, and initializes a
    system-wide init namespace.

    It leaves a #define for system_utsname so sysctl will compile.
    This define will be removed in a separate patch.
