Subject: [PATCH] Deny CLONE_PARENT|CLONE_NEWPID combination
Date: Tue, 28 Jul 2009 09:44:06 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20090728164406.GA17275@us.ibm.com> (raw)


Deny CLONE_PARENT|CLONE_NEWPID combination.

CLONE_PARENT was used to implement an older threading model.  For consistency
with the CLONE_THREAD check in copy_pid_ns(), disable CLONE_PARENT and
CLONE_SIGHAND with CLONE_NEWPID, at least until the required semantics of
the pid namespaces are clear.

Changelog[v3]:
	Remove CLONE_SIGHAND and for now only fail CLONE_NEWPID|CLONE_PARENT.
Changelog[v2]:
	[Eric Biederman] Disable CLONE_SIGHAND also ?
