[PATCH 6/9] user namespaces: convert all capable checks in kernel/sys.c

Serge E. Hallyn serge at hallyn.com
Thu Feb 17 07:03:42 PST 2011


This allows setuid/setgid in containers.  It also fixes some
corner cases where kernel logic foregoes capability checks when
uids are equivalent.  The latter will need to be done throughout
the whole kernel.

Changelog:
	Jan 11: Use nsown_capable() as suggested by Bastian Blank.
	Jan 11: Fix logic errors in uid checks pointed out by Bastian.
	Feb 15: allow prlimit to current (was regression in previous version)
