Subject: [PATCH 2/3] user namespaces: move user_ns from nsproxy into user
struct
When we get the sysfs support needed to support fair user scheduling
along with user namespaces, then we will need to be able to get the
user namespace from the user struct.
So we need the user_ns to be a part of struct user. Once we can
access it from tsk->user, we no longer have a use for
tsk->nsproxy->user_ns.
When a user_namespace is created, the user which created it is
marked as its 'creator'. The user_namespace pins the creator.
Each userid in a user_ns pins the user_ns. This keeps refcounting
nice and simple.
At the same time, this patch simplifies the refcounting. The current
user and userns locking works as follows:
The task pins the user struct.
The task pins the nsproxy, the nsproxy pins the user_ns.
When a new user_ns is created, it creates a root user for
it, and pins it. When the nsproxy releases the user_ns,
the userns tries to release all its user structs.
So you see that the refcounting "works" for now, but only
because the nsproxy (and therefore usr_ns) and user structs
will be freed at the same time - when the last task using
them is released.
Now we need to put the user_ns in the struct user. You can
see that will mess up the refcounting.
Fortunately, once the user_ns is available from tsk->user,
we don't need it in nsproxy.
So here is how the refcounting *should* be done:
The task pins the user struct.
The user struct pins its user namespace.
The user namespace pins the struct user which created it.
A user namespace now doesn't need to release its userids,
because it is only released when its last user disappears.
This patch makes those changes.
