Public bug reported: I saw an interesting exchange on LKML the other day about user namespaces then allowing users to perform mounts, leading to unbounded kernel memory use:
http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=145349682207690&w=2 "what you are doing is essentially mount --rbind / / in infinite loop in luserns. Which ends up eating all memory." http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=145349772807910&w=2 This might be a useful direction to take stress-ng if it doesn't already perform unprivileged user mounts.
