init_user_ns
userns a --- created by kuid 1
userns b -- created by kuid 2

Serge read the first permisison check in common_cap.
Think what happens in the above example.
For the rest I understand your concern.
Serge please read and look at the patches I have posted to fix
the issues Andy found with the user namespace tree. Especially
the fix to commit_creds.
After you have looked at the patches to fix the issues I will
be happy to discuss things further with you.
Eric
