* Make access to task's nsproxy lighterPavel Emelyanov2007-10-19
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When someone wants to deal with some other taks's namespaces it has to lock the task and then to get the desired namespace if the one exists. This is slow on read-only paths and may be impossible in some cases. E.g. Oleg recently noticed a race between unshare() and the (sent for review in cgroups) pid namespaces - when the task notifies the parent it has to know the parent's namespace, but taking the task_lock() is impossible there - the code is under write locked tasklist lock. On the other hand switching the namespace on task (daemonize) and releasing the namespace (after the last task exit) is rather rare operation and we can sacrifice its speed to solve the issues above. The access to other task namespaces is proposed to be performed like this: rcu_read_lock(); nsproxy = task_nsproxy(tsk); if (nsproxy != NULL) { / * * work with the namespaces here * e.g. get the reference on one of them * / } / * * NULL task_nsproxy() means that this task is * almost dead (zombie) * / rcu_read_unlock(); This patch has passed the review by Eric and Oleg :) and, of course, tested.

* cgroups: implement namespace tracking subsystemSerge E. Hallyn2007-10-19
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When a task enters a new namespace via a clone() or unshare(), a new cgroup is created and the task moves into it. This version names cgroups which are automatically created using cgroup_clone() as "node_<pid>" where pid is the pid of the unsharing or cloned process. (Thanks Pavel for the idea) This is safe because if the process unshares again, it will create /cgroups/(...)/node_<pid>/node_<pid> The only possibilities (AFAICT) for a -EEXIST on unshare are 1. pid wraparound 2. a process fails an unshare, then tries again. Case 1 is unlikely enough that I ignore it (at least for now). In case 2, the node_<pid> will be empty and can be rmdir'ed to make the subsequent unshare() succeed. Changelog: Name cloned cgroups as "node_<pid>". [clg@fr.ibm.com: fix order of cgroup subsystems in init/Kconfig] Signed-off-by: Serge E.

* namespace: ensure clone_flags are always stored in an unsigned longEric W. Biederman2007-07-16
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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. Signed-off-by: Eric W.

* user namespace: add the frameworkCedric Le Goater2007-07-16
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Basically, it will allow a process to unshare its user_struct table, resetting at the same time its own user_struct and all the associated accounting. A new root user (uid == 0) is added to the user namespace upon creation. Such root users have full privileges and it seems that theses privileges should be controlled through some means (process capabilities ?) The unshare is not included in this patch. Changes since [try #4]: - Updated get_user_ns and put_user_ns to accept NULL, and get_user_ns to return the namespace. Changes since [try #3]: - moved struct user_namespace to files user_namespace.{c,h} Changes since [try #2]: - removed struct user_namespace* argument from find_user() Changes since [try #1]: - removed struct user_namespace* argument from find_user() - added a root_user per user namespace Signed-off-by: Cedric Le Goater <clg@fr.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Serge E.

* Merge sys_clone()/sys_unshare() nsproxy and namespace handlingBadari Pulavarty2007-05-08
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

* [PATCH] namespaces: fix exit race by splitting exitSerge E. Hallyn2007-01-30
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Fix exit race by splitting the nsproxy putting into two pieces. First piece reduces the nsproxy refcount. If we dropped the last reference, then it puts the mnt_ns, and returns the nsproxy as a hint to the caller. Else it returns NULL. The second piece of exiting task namespaces sets tsk->nsproxy to NULL, and drops the references to other namespaces and frees the nsproxy only if an nsproxy was passed in. A little awkward and should probably be reworked, but hopefully it fixes the NFS oops. Signed-off-by: Serge E.

* [PATCH] Revert "[PATCH] identifier to nsproxy"Eric W. Biederman2006-12-13
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This reverts commit 373beb35cd6b625e0ba4ad98baace12310a26aa8. No one is using this identifier yet. The purpose of this identifier is to export nsproxy to user space which is wrong. nsproxy is an internal implementation optimization, which should keep our fork times from getting slower as we increase the number of global namespaces you don't have to share. Adding a global identifier like this is inappropriate because it makes namespaces inherently non-recursive, greatly limiting what we can do with them in the future. Signed-off-by: Eric W.

This patch adds a nsproxy structure to the task struct. Later patches will move the fs namespace pointer into this structure, and introduce a new utsname namespace into the nsproxy.
