[PATCH 2/3] Enable capabilities of files from shared filesystem

Stefan Berger stefanb at linux.vnet.ibm.com
Thu Jun 22 18:59:48 UTC 2017


The previous patch changed existing behavior in so far as the
capabilities of files from a shared filesystem or bind-mounted files
were hidden from a user namespace. This patch makes these capabilties
visible to the user namespace again, unless the user namespace has set
its own capabilities, which will hide them until those set by the
user namespace are removed.

Also the listing of xattrs is adjusted. To avoid double listing of
names of extended attributes, which can happen if the container and the
host for example have security.capability, we now check that we do not
add the same extended attribute to the list twice.
