This patch isn't a core part of the clone_with_pid functionality, just something Eric has asked for. So I don't object to dropping it. But I disagree with Alexey's claim that this isn't a namespace property. It should be. > frankly I don't see the reason for doing so.

With this patchset we're not, it's true, but we trivially can - even now, userspace can simply not give the container CAP_SYS_ADMIN or write access to the sysctl so they can't do any more CLONE_NEWPIDS or change the sysctl. -serge -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-api" in the body of a message to [email protected] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
