As I responded on lxc-devel (sorry I had apparently missed this
original mail),
This is an often seen, but very wrong, idiom. This check means
nothing, because any unprivileged user can create a new userns
and pass this check.
You're on the right track, but to do this right you'll need to do a bit
more work. For privilege over an inode, there is inode_capable().
For the network access, check the userns of the struct net owning
the socket. etc.
