Good point.

I left in more cruft than I thought I had.  Really the k_uid_t
shouldn't be there at all.  But to have any fix at all I do need the
user_namespace in the user_struct.  So unless you're ok with putting
that in explicitly for now, then until we decide how to handle the
user_struct being in multiple namespaces, the fix will have to wait.

Agreed.  I didn't pull out enough for the simple sysfs fix.

Yes, sorry.

My thought had been that a task belongs to several user_structs, but
each user_struct belongs to just one user namespace.  Maybe as you
suggest that's not the right way to go.

But are you ok with just sticking a user_namespace * in here for now,
and making it clear that the user_struct-user_namespace relation is yet
to be defined?

If not that's fine, we just won't be able to clone(CLONE_NEWUSER)
until we get the relationship straightened out.

I'll have to look at 9p, bc right now I don't know what you're talking
about.  Then I'll move to the containers list to discuss what the
user_struct should look like.

Thanks for taking a look.
