Date: Thu, 27 Dec 2012 11:39:12 +0800 From: Li Zefan <lizefan@...wei.com> To: <ebiederm@...ssion.com> CC: LKML <linux-kernel@...r.kernel.org>, Containers <containers@...ts.linux-foundation.org> Subject: [PATCH] userns: Allow unprivileged reboot In a container with its own pid namespace and user namespace, rebooting the system won't reboot the host, but terminate all the processes in it and thus have the container shutdown, so it's safe.
