From bcac25a58bfc6bd79191ac5d7afb49bea96da8c9 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Andrey Vagin Date: Tue, 6 Sep 2016 00:47:13 -0700 Subject: kernel: add a helper to get an owning user namespace for a namespace Return -EPERM if an owning user namespace is outside of a process current user namespace. v2: In a first version ns_get_owner returned ENOENT for init_user_ns. This special cases was removed from this version. There is nothing outside of init_user_ns, so we can return EPERM. v3: rename ns->get_owner() to ns->owner(). get_* usually means that it grabs a reference.
